| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Also noticed two (I think) planes which were flying in close formation in same area of sky, which is how I noticed the meteor in the first place -- don't think the planes (or helicopters, or whatever they were) were related to the fireball, but thought it was worth mentioning. |
