Reports Report 1033i (Event 1033-2017)
| Observer | |

| Name | Erik R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Thought it was a shooting star, but angle and length of time it took to cross sky makes me consider fireball, or even a piece of space debris... In terms of brightness, it was maybe twice as bright as Venus is with a slight blue tinge. I was facing S by SW and it entered my field of vision approximately in the S by SE reference and proceeded at a slightly decreasing angle towards the SW. Of the many fireballs, or meteors that I've seen I would rank it as moderately exciting. |
