Reports Report 1103f (Event 1103-2012)

Observer
Name Marianne I
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Fireball disappeared behind trees at about 50 degrees, so I didn't see any terminus. I am outside doing astronomy with kids 2-3 nights a week all summer with kids for the last 20 years and have never seen anything like this. I have never seen anything as big and bright as this. It also appeared to move somewhat erratically near the end, which was very puzzling.
