Name | Ioana Roxana M |
Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | I observed the fireball sometime around 1 am, but it could have been a bit earlier or later. In any case, it was well before 2 am. The trail was quite thick, and it moved in an east to west direction and was a bit like an arch, not straight. |

Remarks | The terminal explosion had a diameter about 3 times larger than the thickness of the trail, which was thicker than usual meteors. I didn't hear a sound because at the time I had headphones on. |
