Reports Report 1680n (Event 1680-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Zana P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This fireball was like a slow-moving shooting star that appeared huge compared to shooting stars in meteor showers we frequently observe. It was the biggest, most bright 'shooting star' I've ever seen and we do make a point of going out to observe known showers with the naked eye. I find it strange that there don't seem to be any local sighting reports! I can't be sure of the exact time but was around 10-15 mins after midnight Sunday night/Monday morning, so officially on Monday 14th March. |
