| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Anna V |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This was the most exciting observation. I've never seen one during daylight and as it was almost sunrise the sky was already getting light, so the intensity was very strong, I thought it was the ISS at first till I realised it was getting much brighter before fragmenting. Really cool experience. |
