Name | Cody Z |
Experience Level | 4/5 |
Remarks | This was by far the brightest fireball I have encountered, I am indoors and saw it through my blinds, with my bright computer screen in front of me, as well as my lamp on reflecting off of the window. It looked like a passenger plane coming in for a landing like I typically see, it was incredibly impressive and had such a distinct red glow to it with that bright white flash that initially grabbed my attention. It had a trail of green largely after the initial red and flash, and there were a few stray spark-like fragmented pieces, however I admittedly did not get the cleanest view, as it was through my semi-open blinds. However, it was bright enough in the sky to clearly distinguish it as it did shine slightly through the blinds plastic, as well. |
