Reports Report 10475a (Event 10475-2022)

This report has been linked to the following event: Event 10475-2022
Observer
NameMatthew M
Experience Level2/5
RemarksTime was 2009, unless 1957 aligns with other reports. Wrote myself a strange 8:14pm text note "809minus12", i.e. 8:09pm "minus12" for a text note "12sec" 12-second duration fireball. I discovered the fireball after it began, being surprised and then looking straight up. 12-seconds is a good duration for the portion I witnessed. Estimated west to east while straight-up, from 280 west to 100 east. Very big/bright and relatively slow moving. Thank you!
