Reports Report 1030ab (Event 1030-2013)

Observer
Name Tom T
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks My subjective impression was that the fireball was moving parallel to the motorway on my right (I was travelling westbound). There was no significant change in its altitude during the time I saw it. It did not appear as a pure point source, but as a small orb. Magnitude estimate very rough indeed - brighter than Venus but not as bright as the full Moon. Altitude estimate also very rough - anywhere from 10 to 20 degrees
