Reports Report 799c (Event 799-2015)

Observer
Name Niamh G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was standing at an elevation of 40m above the sea, the fireball passed overhead at about 70m or so it seemed...it went half way through the field in front of me - approx 70m away and then the light just suddenly extinguished. It had been incredibly bright up to that point - like burning magnesium and the fireball was a very large perfect horizontal teardrop shape. My daughter also witnessed it from another room.
