Reports Report 2915c (Event 2915-2017)
| Observer | |

| Name | Anthony H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was trying to work on some astrophotography, and wasn't expecting it. The photo has it only in the corner, but one can see its brightness. That corner was the beginning of the fireball, looking upward towards the door of the building. I may have remembered things badly. The fireball was so bright that both myself and another person thought that the light came from car headlights or a very strong flashlight at close range at first. |
