Reports Report 2162i (Event 2162-2012)

Observer
Name Ken S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Walking along recreational path along Harbour 100m short of Desjardins Canal. Fireball was very bright but from my position it was behind a stand of willow trees so was partially obscured. I've watched meteor showers occasionally for several decades now and this has to be the brightest that I've seen.
