Reports Report 5722fb (Event 5722-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Trey B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I've done a decent amount of Amateur Astronomy and seen at least mid double digits worth of meteors, but nothing this bright and with such fragmentation. It was a light blue-green with an orange train and fragmentation. It's hard for me to say exactly how bright, but there was a residential lamppost (probably about 1000 lumens at 15ish feet) that was about the same brightness as the fireball. |
