Observer
Name frank N
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It entered my sight at WNW just above Venus and continued under the constellation LEO in almost a straight line about 30 to 35 degrees above horizon,ending WSW. About 3 seconds. One of the dimmer fireballs I've seen. Waiting for an ending flash but did not happen. This one was very fast. Not a great fireball just wanted to report it.
