Reports Report 2449yh (Event 2449-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jaqui T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw it from the ground, looking over the railing of my deck, and it looked like it was travelling in a straight line, parallel to the top of the railing of my deck. When it first caught my eye, it was about 1/6 the size of a full moon, and I saw it diminish in size and them burn out. I think I saw some big sparks when it fizzled out. I don't remember seeing any smoke. I was dusk, not especially dark yet. |
