Reports Report 5483a (Event 5483-2016)

Observer
Name Paul N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The date that I saw this is completly wrong. If I said I saw it 5 years ago - that may be close. I was talking to my neighbour over the fence, he was standing on his deck with his house behind him as I excitedly pointed at the fireball but of course he had no way of seeing it. I feel that it was probably a larger than normal space rock (meteor?) burning up. it was to the north West.
