Reports Report 3016dn (Event 3016-2016)

Observer
Name Christian D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks There was an arc to the fall of the fireball. It was much closer than the Perseid meteors I was able to observe last week, and the color was much more that of fire. It appeared quite suddenly and was much more in line with images of the meteor reports in San Diego from earlier in the week.
