| Name | Greg F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | picture was taken with an iPhone 7. photo details are: ISO1600, 28mm, 1.9ev, f/1.8, 1/4s To see best, view the picture in a dark room, screen as bright as you can get it. Fireball is in the middle (zoom in to see trail behind it), directly under that is the glow of the light reflecting off the surface of the ocean which shows the horizon nicely. to the left of the glow on the horizon there are two lights, that's land. above the fireball to the left and right are stars or planets. at the bottom of the pic it's hard to see, but that's a wooden fence to divide the property lines of the house I was in and the neighbors house to the east (4903 E Beach Dr), hopefully that can give great perspective for exactly where the fireball was. |
