Reports Report 1528cx (Event 1528-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Estelle |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball moved more slowly than the shooting stars I\'ve seen in meteor showers. At first glance, out of the corner of my eye, I thought it was just the light of a low-flying plane on approach to the airport, because of its steady speed and level trajectory. |
