Reports Report 2556d (Event 2556-2025)

Observer
Name Mark B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball/meteor got brighter as it moved down (vertically) before being obscured by trees. From my observation point, it was to the left of Jupiter and much brighter. I reported it to be as bright as Venus (if Venus had been in the evening sky), but it could have been even brighter.
