Reports Report 4171h (Event 4171-2022)

Observer
Name Amanda C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The angle vs the horizon info is not quite correct. We live at 500m altitude, and our 'horizon' is the top of the Grand View Range (approx. 1400m). The fireball started higher than this, and I tracked it to a point below our house, where it was no longer visible.
