| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I don't think I saw the start of this fireball, it was the brightness in my peripheral vision that got me to look in its direction to catch the last couple seconds. Brightest one I've ever seen and almost vertical from my position. I was actually out with my telescope trying to see the comet (found it, but disappointing) |
