Reports Report 246h (Event 246-2015)

Observer
Name Paul O
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I already submitted one but made adjustment to times. I checked my phone when I text my girlfriend about it and it said 0204 so it was right around 0203 when it occurred in the north. It fell for a while and burned really bright. Fell straight down it appeared and deviated from our relative left to right slightly as it fell.
