| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The fireball was nearly directly above me, and it took me by surprise, to the information regarding its direction may be a little inaccurate (since "down" is a bit confusing). It made a long trail, though, covering about a third of the sky. |
