| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Louie W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Far from the first "shooting star" or "fireball" I have seen but the more orange colour, speed and brightness of the fireball caught me off guard whilst I was walking back to the house after my housemate forgot her phone. I was not watching the sky with the intention of spotting anything, this was a chance encounter. |
