| Name | Corey M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Cloudless night, crescent moon to the West, in a well lit parking lot. Fireball was visible to the East when no stars are visible due to light pollution, intensity was slightly dimmer than the crescent moon. Only lasted 1.25-1.5sec, light faded out with no flash or sound. The fireball at peak intensity was roughly 2x larger than the ISS. Unsure at what angle fireball started, only became visible in peripheral vision after it past my driver's window frame from overhead; however it appeared to be gaining intensity immediately after spotting. Form took roughly 30min to complete due to address entry database errors. Eventually got it working, with satellite view verification. |
