Reports Report 3015b (Event 3015-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Steven G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I've filled in the form as best as possible but elevation and magnitude are difficult to determine accurately as the incredible thing is I was sitting on the sofa upstairs in my living room watching TV with the main lights on, when I observed the fireball. The living room blinds and windows were open a bit as it had been a hot day which meant luckily I was able to spot the fireball. The direction I was looking in though is very accurate as afterwards I held my smartphone compass out in front of me in the direction of the TV that I was watching when the fireball appeared in my peripheral vision, I hope others spotted it as well as it was fantastic to see! |
