Reports Report 3740a (Event 3740-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Steve R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I hot tub on many mornings, maybe 2-5 times per week. This is probably in the top 3-4 sightings I've seen. It wasn't probably a classic fireball which I have observed on a couple occasions, but it was a large observance with a good tail. |
