Reports Report 1143cc (Event 1143-2013)

Observer
Name Jason K
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was with a large number of people, approximately twenty. From our location, the fireball looked like it went from Pollux and Castor down to about 5 degrees south of the planets in conjunction. We all saw it, since we all were looking in that direction. I saw only the latter half of it. But three others saw it coming from near the Twins.
