| Name | Graham L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Please see my report on SPA http://forum.popastro.com/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=21090 "Saw what I thought was a bright meteor or possibly fireball through high cloud this evening from my location, 53.44.18N 1.39.12W, at around 19:18 (mobile phone NTP time). It appeared at my ESE at about 30 degrees above the horizon traveling vertically down but only lasted a couple of seconds. I could see it through thin cloud so I'm guessing it must have been pretty bright." |
