| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There were reports of a large fireball on the same evening, however these appear to be approximately 1h 10m prior and north of my location. My observation was looking approximately SE from my observation point listed. I have footage from dash cam, however it's not the greatest quality. It does show the waning gibbous moon almost directly in front of me in direction of travel, prior to the fireball appearing. |
