Reports Report 2993p (Event 2993-2014)

Observer
Name Steve M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Time of sighting is approximate, within a few minutes of actual time. Viewing conditions were dark and quiet. Fireball was bright enough to catch my attention even though I wasn't looking up. Cloud cover at the time obscured the sky above and behind me (west) and the fireball was just beyond the edge of the cloud cover in the eastern sky. Bright and relatively large in size, approximately the size of my thumbnail at arm's length.
