| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ruth P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was a very beautiful, bright, white/yellow fireball, with a big head. Had sparkles around the head. Short train. Moved more slowly than most meteors do, so it was quite enjoyable to watch. The cat that was sleeping next to me did not even wake up or look around, so I know there was no sound disturbances or unusual activity going on. A beautiful night too. |
