Reports Report 5613d (Event 5613-2024)

Observer
Name Ian H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks When it first appeared I thought it was a meteor but it was much slower and I could clearly make out the round head of it being distinctly larger than the width of the tail. The tail was probably a fist width or slightly more long. The fireball was nearly horizontal with the horizon. It was a nice one!
