| Name | Rick H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was hard for me to pick the angle with your website. I’d almost describe it as 30° up where I was looking to the East, and saw a red/orange fireball with a glowing tail, it disappeared (cloud?) and then reappeared as an orange star but was moving SE. The fireball with a tail only lasted for a few seconds. |
