Reports Report 4160fw (Event 4160-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Max Q |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife also saw it. We were on vacation. I just googled it now (august 22, 2022) and saw this site, so I entered my info late. The fireball seemed more close (over the island Ile de Ré) so I was surprised to see this many reported observations of this fireball with a calculated trajectory much further away. But I was sure other people must have seen it too, and that was true:) |
