Reports Report 1188e (Event 1188-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matthew C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball was captured on my surveillance cam facing east toward downtown Houston at 18:50:39 CST. The fireball occurred in the early evening when there was still some daylight present, so it may actually have actually been brighter than I estimated. It's not a great video, and the fireball is partially obscured by clouds, but this is video of the fireball reported in Report 1188-2020 and can perhaps help with nailing down the trajectory and path. |
