Reports Report 4849bv (Event 4849-2019)

Observer
Name Richard L
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I did not see what I would think of as fragmentation(major speration into several) but I did observe "sparkling" to both sides that moved away from the main path but still in a downward direction. I have seen several fireballs in my life and although this was not spectacular length of time wise it was unique in my experiences because of the "sparkling" as well as the intensity of the green.
