Reports Report 6662s (Event 6662-2024)

| Name | Steve L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I estimated the azimuth by noting the relative position of the moon and Venus. I immediately recorded the time, approximate elevation/angle of view when I first saw the fireball, and when I last saw it. I also recorded the magnitude (which I thought was somewhat less than Venus - listed at -3.9 currently). I would have guessed half the magnitude of Venus - perhaps 3.0. I have seen several fireballs before, an reported at least 1. |
