| Name | Carla R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I just like to look at the sky and the stars, I can recognize a few constellations. I was not familiar with fireballs until i search on the internet yesterday. I am familiar comets as I have seen them many times with different in brightness and colors. These one looked like a comet at the beginning, but the size was about 10 bigger and looked like a fireball at the end. At the moment, I considered it could had been a fireworks because of the brightness and it was flying low in the sky at the end, however had a similar trajectory as a comet. I hope, I don’t waste your time and the report can be useful. FYI I do photography and I have a photographic memory. |
