Observer
Name R O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw the fireball in the western sky, near what I believe to be Venus. It appeared to move from south to north, at a slight downward angle, but did not drop to Venus' height. It would be helpful if there was a feature that allows you to upload a photo as a reference, even if you weren't able to capture the fireball itself.
