| Name | Andrew B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | My astronomical group saw it from low down on the northern horizon until it burnt out due east of us at 30 degrees elevation. Please note, the answer to 4/10 on the appearance of the fireball, it was spotted as a bright light low down on the northern horizon as we were looking in that direction at the time. We followed its path around to the east as it climbed higher in the sky. On the northern horizon, when we first saw it, it did not have a visible tail. Hope this helps. |
