Reports Report 322el (Event 322-2012)
| Observer | |

| Name | K E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball seemed large in the sky and close. It seemed to be moving fairly slowly. The tail section did not appear very big, hence I thought it was a firework initially. On burning out, the whole thing disappeared from view in an otherwise very clear sky with little light pollution for the UK. |
