Fire Ball observation

Sandy told me she saw a fire ball I asked her to do a report for anyone who may find it helpful if they saw it. It was yellow and the tail appeared as if on fire which suggest a break up. She took a photo and made a pretty good record so she can tell the story I sacanned her notes.

There's some nice detail in that report Alex - congratulation Sandy, well done! I especially like the perspective comment, ie "about the size of a 20c coin on the window" which gives a very good indication of visual size.

Keep up the good work. :-)

Sounds like a beauty! I'm jealous I didn't get to see it.

Hi Sandy and Alex,

good report. Events like that are special, and unexpected.
