| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Annie T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I am sitting outside by a fire, under a tree, so I can only see a small patch of the sky from North to East, and the tree blocks out what's overhead, so I probably missed the beginning of the fireball. From my perspective, it appeared to shoot toward the East, almost horizontally, through Ursa Major and kept going. The fireball was at least as bright as Venus on the brightest days of her phase, with pulsing flashes of white with a greenish-blue hue. I'm sure others saw it too, because I heard the neighbors across the street say "Whoooa...!!" |
