Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | I am not even sure if this was a fireball, but I was taking sunrise photos with my friend on the shore of Many Glacier Lodge on the morning of July 29th. We were at this area for 45 minutes taking photos and neither of us observed any airplane contrails. This is something both of us would've saw because it would have affected our shots. I looked at all the photos the next day and only noticed this one last night. The shutter speed was 1/45th of a second and I was so engaged in getting my camera settings correctly and taking the shot, if this was indeed a fireball, I missed seeing it. I took photos a minute prior and a minute and a half after this shot and didn't see any contrails in it, so that's what made me think it may be a fireball and not an airplane. Thanks for looking at this! |
