| Name | Steve G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I;ve seen one other fireball, ten years ago and this one was not like that one. It was like someone was taking a picture (flash of a camera). One flash, no sound, no trail, very quick. it was very bright. At 445 am and 45 degrees altitude, it had to be a fireball. Most weekends, if it clear, I'm setup with my telescope, so I see plenty of shooting stars and this was not one. Thanks. |
