Reports Report 1786kl (Event 1786-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Warren C |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I am a life-long amateur astronomer. I used to give shows in the planetarium at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. I did not see the fireball -- it was captured on outside Wyze V3 camera fixed to my shed. The moon is in the frame, so you can see the fireball is clearly brighter. It came straight down in the NNW. From the treeline, I can estimate it was about 20 +/- 5 degrees to the left of North (based on Polaris' location). |
