| Name | David J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This is very frustrating. I have more photos and information than the form permits to be submitted, including detail photos of the fireball and train, and an overlay showing the exact location relative to identifiable stars (from Stellarium). I would appreciate having an alternative means of submitting this information, as I think you may find it of significant value. |
