Reports Report 5003bj (Event 5003-2020)

Observer
Name Steven B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were in a group of 8 people at a campsite and we all saw the meteor/fire ball. We have all seen shooting stars and we agree this was something different that we have never seen before. Shooting stars are much quicker and smaller and don't last any more than a few seconds. We'd really like to know if anyone else can verify tbis.! Many thanks
