Reports Report 1176h (Event 1176-2018)

Observer
Name	Ralph L
Experience Level	5/5
Remarks	My eyes are always in the sky. Was in our out door hot tub last night & witnessed this spectacular event. Seen many shooting stars but this was definitely a fireball. I was watching a plane on approach to Toronto & the meteor appeared right in the same direction. I’m sure someone else must have seen this.
