Reports Report 5139a (Event 5139-2022)

| Name | Viv M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | We were in a field with very limited obstruction of the sky. We had no viewing equipment and my phone camera was not good enough for it to pick it up on film. We had seen shooting stars for at least an hour before hand, but this was different. I’m not 100% sure it was a fireball, but from descriptions I’ve read, I think it most likely was. Pretty amazing as I’ve never seen shooting stars before or anything like this! |
