Reports Report 3151di (Event 3151-2019)

Observer
Name Diana H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The fireball seemed to disappear momentarily, then come back with a bright flash half-way through its course across the sky, as if it were skipping across the atmosphere like a rock on a pond surface. I think it might have gotten brighter at the end too, but there was a bit of tree cover in the way.
