Reports Report 3792ee (Event 3792-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Stephen M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking through a telescope when someone in the group said look at that. It took at least a second for me to stand up and turn around, by which time the fireball was almost due north. It was so bright that I thought that someone had let off a firework in the park until I noticed the trajectory. It was unusual due to its brightness, the sense of it being close, and the length of time it was visible. |
