Reports Report 3439f (Event 3439-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Janette W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I do not have sufficient knowledge to differentiate between a meteor and fireball, but previous meteor observations did not last as long (visible across entire West to East horizon), nor were they as low to the visual horizon and given the moonlight, I was surprised to see something so bright with such a long tail. |
