Reports Report 526e (Event 526-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mark L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I checked your web site to see if anyone else had seen a fireball that night and saw others in MN & WI had seen something so thought I would report also. It was very large, bright & long lasting; thought it might actually hit the ground but it burned up just above the horizon. I had a friend with me , I could ask him to report it, as he remembers it, if it would help. We were sitting in a vehicle (ice fishing, watching tip-ups) so hearing it wasn't possible. Didn't catch a thing. |
