Reports Report 278g (Event 278-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cean M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The direction dial (the first interactive pointer) is confusing - to clarify, the fireball was basically heading right at me in my direction of travel - I feel that it came from beyond me and was traveling towards me, not the otherway around. It was generally heading towards me, possibly from center of vision to left of center. Distance across the sky was not great, again I feel that it was headed generally at the direction I was facing. I was driving at the time, my map point is approximate. The time is really really close as I called my dad right after, and listed time of the call on this form here. Thank you for having this tool! |
