Reports Report 1379ff (Event 1379-2012)

Observer
Name Svein T
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Observed from my observatory in Vakadal, Norway. Maybe this is one of the northernmost observations of this large fireball. If it was spotted from Finland its direction must have been from a little north of east to a little south of west. Hard to judge as it went below my horizon before reaching the meridian. My observation was done prior to the splitup which took place over UK. The splitup was however seen by others from the southernmost point of Norway. (Near Farsund)
