Reports Report 1165a (Event 1165-2018)

Observer
Name F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The time is as close an approximation as I can get. At the time it happened I had no idea I would report it. It was somewhere between 6:30 and 6:45. I googled to see if it was a meteor and saw that you wanted a report. This is the first time I've reported a fireball. I was facing east, looking across Lake Worth and Singer Island toward the ocean, with Blue Heron Bridge to my right. It was bluish white, brighter and much closer-seeming than a star. If I could guess the size of its appearance, it seemed about the size of one of the bright white outside lights on Sugar Sands condo buildings. It was probably 3 times as bright, I would guess. I hope this helps. The angle at which it fell was from slightly to the right of a straight vertical line to slightly to the left of a straight vertical line.
