| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ryan H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed like there was only one very large fireball coming up from the horizon when I first sighted it, then we noticed even more in the sky after a possible fragmentation? Towards the end of the sighting I saw what looked like two very bright white fireballs disappearing around the curvature of the earth |
