Observer
Name Aaron C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I just happened to get lucky after hearing there was a fireball sighting on that night. I started reviewing color night vision CCTV footage at the rough time and happen to get lucky since my best view was of the eastern sky, and was pleased to witness my first fireball sighting and share it with the world! Thanks to MrMBB333 for suggesting I report it here!
