Reports Report 5569a (Event 5569-2017)

| Name | Adam A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | From when I first noticed the brightness of the fireball, it seemed very odd that it seemed to travel quite low to the horizon in a near horizontal fashion. And although it was impossible for me to judge the speed, it moved from left to right very fast, maybe 2-3 seconds across my field of view from when I first saw it. Also, I am reporting the time I saw this from memory as a past social media comment popped up on my phone today from 1-year ago. My post stating I just saw a fireball was at 21:31 which I think was around 10-mins after the sighting. For the record, this was the 3rd large fireball I've seen now above the UK in around 10 years ;) |
