Reports Report 1801b (Event 1801-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lizhu Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The observer YIN Lizhu witnessed ONLY THE END PART of the fireball process, which lasted 1 to 2s. The whole process should be longer than this. The fireball moved very slow, became brighter and brighter, and then vanished. With the help of GUO Zhengqiang, we find the specific time from a photo that was taken just a while after the fireball. SO THIS FIREBALL IS PROBABLY THE SAME ONE WITH EVENT 1801-2018. It looked like a huge irregular-shaped bright object that consisted of several very close objects, SUCH AS SEVERAL FRAGMENTS GOING TOWARDS THE OBSERVER. This report is filled out with the help of XIN Qi. |
