| Name | Sophie N |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I saw the fireball-like object, I was on the driving car & sitting on the rear passenger seat. So, the location could be slightly different. Also, there is a first quarter moon on the sky, so it's possible that I just misunderstood the moon and the reflection of the light on the window. However, the movement of the light is very similar to the meteor I have seen before, so I made a report. |
