| Observer | |

| Name | Jo-Anna D |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was out walking to try and spot some Geminid meteors, but because of patchy (and increasing) cloud cover and a bright Moon even through the clouds, I did not see a one, until ... the fireball. Absolutely love spotting these. Quite rare (2 or 3/year), but always memorable. This fireball was through clouds; I can only imagine the viewing if the sky had been clear! |
