| Name | Max C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Amazingly this is the second fireball/bolide I’ve seen, and both from the comfort of my lounge! This one was not as spectacular as the first, but still left me in a state of excitement. This one, for a split second, I thought was a very bright rocket, then realised it was a low trajectory bolide. It was very bright, but while it was in my vision (the final part of it’s journey hidden by houses) there were no explosions. There was very minor fragmentation. The green tinging reminded me of copper glowing. I’m more than happy to answer any further questions. |
