Reports Report 3565ap (Event 3565-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Evan S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this while I was waiting for the comet NEOWISE to appear, and the fireball happened when the sky was still pretty light. This made it particularly notable just how bright it was. I thought perhaps it was a firework but it's origin was clearly in the western sky above the ocean, and it had an overall downward angle to it, plus was moving at a speed not typical of fireworks. |
