Fireball report

Reports Report 5340l (Event 5340-2018)

Observer
Name	Alysa H
Experience Level	3/5
Remarks	I've gone out at night to view the perseids etc and it's always been just an instant whizzy streak of white, but this was much bigger and brighter and coloured and fragmented. It made my spine tingle as I've never seen anything like it before. However it wasn't like fireballs I've seen in online videos that are so big they illuminate the scene. My friend missed it.
