| Name | John C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the largest, brightest, and most intricate fireball I’ve ever seen. It flared an orange then green tail, akin to flames. I know little about meteors but actively watch and track and photograph/document the sky. I hope to learn about where the objects actual position and trajectory was so I can better understand the magnitude of it’s size, altitude and distance from my observation point- if it’s possible to get that information. Thank you! |
