| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Katherine K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen small far-off "shooting stars" in a fully dark sky before, but nothing this bright or large and impressive, and in a partially cloudy dusk setting. The fireball appeared to pass through clouds as it got lower and I could no longer see it through the trees. |
