Reports Report 471b (Event 471-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joseph J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second time I've seen a fireball. The first time I observed one, I checked the AMS website a few days later and confirmed that what I witnessed was indeed a fireball. Given that experience, I have reasonable confidence that this report is indeed a fireball as well and not some other phenomenon. |
