Observer
NameMichael S
Experience Level4/5
RemarksThis Fireball was an amazing site to see, certainly in my top 3 of all time the 3 colours I saw as described were very clear and distinct and very separated with defined lines/sections from left to right as I viewed it as (it was like a mini comet) with a tail truly memorable and like others I have been fortunate to see permanently etched in my memory. I have 40 plus years of being a very regular observer of Astronomy, I have been fortunate to see now at least 5 Fireballs in my life (3 in the last 12 months, one which I reported previously!) my colour perception I would say is very good and I have even been tested back in the day by Mensa in the past with 98% result.
