Reports Report 3556o (Event 3556-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bruce J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Difficult to estimate brightness. Also not sure about elevation above horizon when it first appeared, since I was looking back up after looking down just before. It looked like burning fireworks falling to the ground. Nothing like a star or planet, but rather like burning phosphorous, with a glow. |
