| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Brian J |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside (living room with lights on) so the noise and trail issues is really a I don't know. The brightness started less, got quite bright, MUCH brighter than any meteor I have ever seen and I have seen some that have left trails, and then faded. I don't feel the light that I could see went below the horizon, faded to nothing. I am a LOT further east than most of the observations. I thought it was a firework gone off course, but there were none in the area. My time is probably quite a bit off. |
