| Name | Damian B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Was in a hot tub looking up. No phone. Otherwise, video would have been 15 - 20 seconds. Listened for sonic boom, but never heard one. For sure I was going to hear one and prepared myself for it. First fireball with breakup! Glad you have this site. Often use my Meade ETX-90AT to look at the moon and planets. |
