| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Netty D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing experience observing something so bright and consistent as this sighting. The circular fireball was close in proximity, bright, colorful and unrecognizable from anything else I've seen in my life. The trail was enormous and the fireball, in comparison seemed a quarter size of the Moon from my perspective. Netty's Comet. |
