Reports Report 3807hc (Event 3807-2016)

Observer
Name Tony G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I could only view the object for about 10 seconds due to losing site because of trees. I tried to find an open spot to pick the object up but the trees were too tall and dense. What was amazing to see was how low it was coming in. I had seen meteors at night in Northern Michigan before but nothing this close to earth! wow!
