| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Colin M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It lit up our bedroom like an LED spotlight pointed directly in the window. It burned and fragmented for what seemed a long time, probably 5 seconds. White light, my first thought was that it was a manmade object (satellite etc) burning up, though I have no way of knowing. Just my immediate feeling. |
