Reports Report 3563d (Event 3563-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andy H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Without doubt the most brilliant, vivid meteorite I've ever seen. Have seen the fast feint ones tracing across the sky, but this seemed to fall slowly, steeply but gracefully and last about 3 or 4 seconds. A pure fluke I was looking in the right direction at the time or would have missed it. |
