Observer
Name victor m
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Sitting inside on couch when it appeared in a window. May have been visible before it came into my view. Google Earth provided bearing. Very bright, like magnesium skyrocket, but going straight down or away. Former satellite test architect who has seen four fireballs over the years, this being the most spectacular.
