| Name | Neil G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Awesome - I did previously submit a report which I stand by, except I got direction wrong (map wasn\'t working) - saw it first in North East, it stayed pretty level and ended in South/South East. Fantastic blue core colour and orange surround and trail. Thought it must be some tech (space junk or aircraft engine fire) as seemed relatively slow for a meteor, broke apart and had much brighter and clearer colours than I\'ve seen before...once in a lifetime!?! |
