| Remarks | Re the brightness, I am not quite sure how to rate it. It was certainly much bigger than the average meteor seen in a shower. And it was very bright for its size. When you ask if it was as bright as the moon, do you mean the overall light cast by the moon? Or the brightness of a part of the moon the relative size of the fireball? Because my answer would correspond to the latter. Also, the time could be off by a few minutes. I estimated it by looking back on my cell phone's call log, as I was talking to a friend at the time. The fireball appeared to come straight down vertically toward the earth. |
