Reports Report 1283b (Event 1283-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rick E |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the brightest, fastest travelling fireball of several that I have been lucky to see over the years. From twitter, it appears that it was visible from Kamloops BC to the North all the way to Portland OR in the South. The fact it was so clearly seen in the centre of a large city like Vancouver ( and others) that it must have been quite large and may have some pieces that made it to Earth in Eastern Washington |
