| Name | David T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving towards Bourg St Maurice so our horizon was high - mountains. Seemed to come straight 'down', I thought a hint of blue, my son just saw white. Very brief and bright with a bright but short 'tail'. Was brighter than meteors i've seen before during casual observation, and briefer. Sadly no dashcam on hire car... We looked at each other with a 'did we just see a fireball?' question, and on looking on your site today it fits so have added my report but exact location at sighting and time are estimates as were driving at the time. |
