| Remarks | We were out to watch the international space station flyover, at first thought the fireball was the station and thought, holy crap I had no idea it moves so fast and looks like that! Was even more impressive through binoculars. Then we spotted the station and realized this wasn't it. Still not sure this was a fireball meteor, it looked like a giant flaming comet. Might have been something else. Wish I had a picture of that thing, the space station, and Jupiter all together tonight, so cool. |
