Reports Report 4412bl (Event 4412-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kelly S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this while I was driving and was lucky to be facing the correct direction. I had seen another one similar to this a while back and later learned it was a meteor from an article I saw online. The article said that one was over Des Moines, Iowa, a lot further away than I thought it would have been. Was looking for something on this one when I found your website. Thought I should report it. Feel lucky to have seen two of these like this. Hope I remembered the angles correctly. |
