Reports Report 1076f (Event 1076-2015)

Observer
Name Lisa L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was close to Venus in the sky so I could see it was at least 4 times as large as Venus to the human eye and brighter than it in an orange/yellow fireball kind of way. It looked exactly like a fireball and it seemed closer to me than other elements in the sky and seemed to be in our atmosphere unlike other shooting stars which are small little white streaks that seem like far flashes of light.
