Observer
Name Deborah K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I observed a fan-like trail behind the meteorite while fireball was still bright and visible. Smaller fragments were observed in the trail. Trail was at least double the width of the fireball and at least 3-4 times in length. However, trail disappeared after fire ball disintegrated into smaller fragments.
