| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Daniel A |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I witnessed this through an east facing window, the fireball came into view from the top of the window frame. I recorded the length of the event only as what I actually saw, therefore the length/time of travel was likely slightly longer. The core of the fireball was a deep orange, with the pieces of fragmentation that split off appearing to remain close to the fireball. |
