| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Martin W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was late dusk, there was 40%? cloud cover, it was extremely unexpected but hard to explain as being anything other than a meteor, despite? having much in common with a firework, viz tail and brightness. Was probably facing west at end of 30/35° flat arc of visible trajectory, so facing south west at beginning. |
