Reports Report 4971a (Event 4971-2023)

Observer
Name Joe D
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Observation was from indoors, while watching TV. The observed start elevation was when the fireball passed below the eave of the house. The fireball was brite enough that it distracted two of us from the TV that is about 80° to the left of the fireballs path. The 177° magnetic direction of observation should be quite accurate due to my observation being through a 7" wide window, located 10.5' from the window.
