| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Pineshi G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was standing facing southeast direction. The angle of fireball would have been moving north to south. I turned my head right when I noticed a bright light peripherally and with my head turned at right angle, i moved quickly to face the moving object. It seemed only few seconds before it completely disappeared, but never have experienced one so large and closeup before. It left a long trailing streak which disappeared quickly as the object. I stood there briefly stunned to have seen quite the moving object in dark sky, and did not notice any other sounds, smells or fragmentation. |
