| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tanya J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Despite the clear sky, no other stars were visible in the sky where I saw the fireball, making it seem very bright and hard to miss even if one was merely looking in the general direction. Not even the lights of the city diminished its appearance. |
