This report has been linked to the following event: Event 2823-2022
Observer
NameElliot R
Experience Level1/5
RemarksMy sight was slightly hidden by a building facing the direction that I observed the fireball. Also I live in a hill, the fireball went the direction downwards of the hill. Therefore it may be difficult to judge its landing destination as it may have flew a fair distance beyond me (depending on its actual altitude).

RemarksThe fireball seemed to emit sparks from its train as it flew by (not unlike a flare). It emitted a small train that was a glow of a slightly fainter, lighter strain of blue than the ball/rock itself. The ball/rock looked square shaped from observation (this is not a certainty however, and could be a misjudgement).
