Please see the fireball webpage for help and advice completing this form. Note that not all very bright objects seen moving across the sky are fireballs. Three of the commoner objects mistaken for fireballs are aircraft lights, satellite flares and "sky-lanterns". Notes on how to help recognise them are given here. In all cases, if you are not sure whether you saw a genuinely meteoric fireball or not, please send the Meteor Director as full a description as possible of what you saw.
