Reports Report 973bj (Event 973-2024)

Observer
Name Alessandra D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was driving on the road I have indicated towards Hertford and the fireball appeared quite high on my left hand side. It looked like exactly like a shooting star, but giant size. I even thought it could be a plain falling down as we are not too far away from Stansted.
