Reports Report 3888h (Event 3888-2025)

Observer
Name Mark M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I heard a noise outside and looked out the bedroom window. As it was dark I randomly took a picture with the flash on. When I looked at the horizon on the picture and zoomed in I could see that I managed to capture a picture of a fireball. That is the third time in 8 years I have seen a fireball over the same area of kells in county Meath Ireland.
