| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Shea H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was beautiful. A youtube video titled “ A spectacular fireball (meteor) above Slovenia (Tomislav Car) /RP” is extremely similar to what I saw, which is encouraged me to report it. Though what saw was traveling more so “across” rather than down |
