Observer
NameJoanna C
Experience Level3/5
RemarksI hope I am reporting this sighting correctly as I have never witnessed a fireball before. Other fireball discriptions are the closest thing to what I witnessed tonight. The fireball cluster that I saw moved very slowly across the sky. Extremely slower than any meteor I have ever seen. I would best guess this incredible display lasted up to 30 seconds.

Terminal flash
ObservationNo
Remarks-
Fragmentation
ObservationYes
RemarksThe fireball broke off smaller pieces which multipled as they crossed the sky. It started as one to two pieces breaking off but ended with 10 to 15 trailing the "main fireball" as they continued in the same direction across the sky. The broken off pieces all dimmed out before the main piece was last seen about 95 degrees North (to the right) of where it was first spotted. The entire cluster was about the size of your hand with the arm fully extended.
