Observer
NameBill P
Experience Level4/5
RemarksThe fireball was consistent in magnitude from inception until it faded in the southwest. It appeared near Mars in the ESE (just above it, I believe), and continued across the sky, terminating just above and beyond Jupiter/Saturn. It featured a sizable trail as it streaked across the sky, but the trail did not persist.
