| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’m not 100% sure of the date - it may have been 27th Feb. I was looking at the very large bright moon in the early morning sky when this object shit almost straight down to the left of it. I didn’t know what it was until seeing stuff about fireballs and meteors in the news recently. It was too big and bright for a ‘normal’ shooting star, really very bright, and big too, and looking like it was ‘burning up’ ie getting brighter as it fell. |
