Reports Report 658n (Event 658-2015)

Observer
Name Jane S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was sitting on my sofa in my lounge when I saw the 'ball of fire' - we live on the side of a mountain over looking the sea. I love the night sky - I sometimes go outside to catch shooting stars and the International Space Station - but this is something I have never seen before - I don't really want to see another one. From where I was sitting - it looked like it had landed in the sea - I even went down to the bottom road to see if anyone else had seen it. Please feel free to contact me. I hope I got the angles correct - I could draw it on my window tonight - and the size of the 'ball' in relation to other lights at the bottom of the mountain!! Jane Sinnett
