| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dennis W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Know little about astronomy. Was viewing sky because I was told a meteror shower was going to be present that night, and we were camping so it seemed like a good thing to do. I'm familiar with where I was located, and what direction I was facing, and the direction I saw the fireball travel, but I can't be certain I input the data correctly into your system. |
