| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was out looking at stars, Mars and Saturn with my son. Time of fireball was an approximation. Was a clear night and the fireball was very bright, easily 3-4x brighter than brightest Venus I have seen. Left a long tail before disappearing but no visible remnants from my vantage point. |
