Observer
Name Sebastian K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Relay back to the observation. Fireball looked far away but was very bright. I was looking north and the meteor was traveling to the east with two or three fragments separating from it. Awesome experience. Never seen one before. Can't wait to see another!
