Reports Report 2079b (Event 2079-2017)

Observer
Name Catherine P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Bright from start to finish, but blinked out and then quickly back on about 2/3 of the way down, possible fragmentation but the brightness did not vary. Very bright and relatively slow arcing descent NE to NNW, dramatic and with time to observe well. Two fairly experienced lay observers, both agree on what we saw.
