| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Linda S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was very bright and short-lived. Thought it waa a helicopter going down at first because it was SO bright (much brighter than the planets I was viewing in east skies tonight), and there aren't any meteor showers this month. Then when it disappeared so fast, I realized it was a fireball. |
