Reports Report 3430a (Event 3430-2017)

Observer
Name Alfred B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My wife and I observed this fireball together. Its track was from very high above us and moved very rapidly toward the north. It disappeared behind a ridge of hills (with a crest about 30 degrees above the horizon) so we did not see the end of its track. The observation was remarkable because it was so vivid against a clear, blue sky.
