Reports Report 3525ca (Event 3525-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nick R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was still quite light here, at 9.40pm. The fireball and train both seemed extremely clear, and very close/large, as if on par with some fairly low aeroplanes. (Of course was no doubt an optical illusion.) Was very impressive. |

| Remarks | If I’d held up my hand, as I recall the train may have been about an inch long, very clear and impressive - almost looked fake as was so clear against the BLUE sky (it hadn’t quite got dark here then, at 9.40pm). But ball and train were only visible briefly as I was looking between the houses. |
