Reports Report 5814dj (Event 5814-2019)
| Observer | |

| Name | Tia R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I didn't know about fireballs before the website, but I came to find out if there were recent meteors because of how bright and impressive it was. I remarked several times I had never seen a shooting star so bright, or that had gotten brighter at the end. It was also the second one I had seen in 2 days. I don't remember enough of the details to document the other one, but it was 2 days prior to the one I'm reporting. |
