Reports Report 302be (Event 302-2017)

Observer
Name Karen D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I do have a photo - I was taking a 20 second exposure when it happened and I caught at least part of it in the photo. The photo clicked off about the time I was watching it so not sure if I got all of it. It was definitely bright - really caught my attention - but I've been wrong before about things being a fireball vs a meteor so I'll leave that to your judgment.
