Reports Report 4956ei (Event 4956-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Catherine L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball was spotted while lying down in a screened tent with direct view to the sky, at the GPS location identified earlier in my report. My feet were facing East, my head was facing West, and the fireball moved from East to West directly above my tent. I was not able to provide this information detail during previous steps about "viewing angles", as there was no option for "lying down". |
