Reports Report 2177a (Event 2177-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Barry W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | There were light clouds at the time, with no stars visible but it was still very bright. The fireball appeared to change to half its size just before it disappeared (about 2/3 of the way along its path), but the color did not change and I did not see any fragments. The time of my report is based on my car's clock which is not synced to anything. |
