Reports Report 3184u (Event 3184-2018)

Observer
Name Elisa B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was not looking in the direction of the fireball and feel that it was already falling when I first noticed it. I was looking at the full moon which was in the eastern sky,and when I glanced in a SSW direction, I saw it. I was parked on Vandenbergh Rd after work There were mountains on the horizon, so I have difficulty assessing the angles of the trajectory. It was much larger than a falling star, about 4 or more times as large. It was bright like a falling star, which I feel is much brighter than the full moon. I was not sure how to answer the question about brightness. It was difficult for me to determine the height of the angle at which I first noticed it. It was white-blue, and larger than anything I have ever seen. Please contact me if I can be of any assistance.It was spectacular!
