Reports Report 1252l (Event 1252-2022)

Observer
Name CHRISTOPHER P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks As mentioned I was not looking in the direction of the potential fireball when it appeared so can only guess at the direction it first appeared, I was alerted by a very bright flash which lit up the castle walls (it was a moonless night and very dark) and turned my head to see an object about the brightness of Sirius heading very quickly down towards the Eastern horizon.

Remarks I did not see this directly so I am assuming this is what it was. I was actually facing away from the direction of the fireball, facing northwest as I was photographing the castle walls / sky above at the time. I was alerted by a bright flash that lit up the walls like a camera flash had gone off behind me. When I turned to see where the flash had come from is when I saw the fireball (about as bright as Sirius and totally white in colour) heading down towards the eastern horizon very quickly
