| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Geo M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Unfortunately, I was driving as this occurred, so the location is unfortunately approximate, as is the direction, but it's likely at least within the correct quadrant! Estimating the brightness was tough, but this was a full moon night, and I was driving, so I had only limited dark adaptation at the time.It was, however, almost unmistakably the brightest meteor/fireball I have ever seen! |
