Observer
Name Marc L
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks See the capture of the streamer style fireball on the Meteor Marc youtube chan https://youtu.be/3Kan8RXCBaQ Thanks and enjoy your fireball! I'm working on new camera array to fully cover sky with no blindspots as I have missed a few lately because of that issue. Specificly the one reported off Palos Verdes on 02/24/2017 at 9:40pm or so which was in a thin blindspot on the current array ..so frustrating... sorry to those AMS users.. from the reports it sounded like a good one.
