Reports Report 1337nr (Event 1337-2017)

Observer
Name Marvin B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The bright large meteor with a streak behind it appeared for about 4 secs from a westerly direction going east, then it disappeared. I thought it had burned out, but apparently it went behind some low clouds, as I spotted it a sec or so later 25 degs or so headed down toward the eastern horizon. I saw no explosion as it went out of site toward the horizon.
