Reports Report 5636a (Event 5636-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David S |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Coincidentally not having an exact date of the split fireball reported, the event took place parallel and within to what i call the Aldebaran Star V-shape cluster in Taurus. The estimated year could be in error but morning meteor and fireball counting is started 0200 usually and continuing with the earlier rise of winter constellations Aug Sep should be a good time and month. Using the Venus scale -4 of magnitude, i'm sure that i see many fireballs even 1 bright sulfur green one 10 am bright clear blue sky, its n incredible nature. |
