Reports Report 863d (Event 863-2011)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Barthelemy M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was reading facing east and only noticed it to my left (NNE from me) while it was already flying low above the mountains to the north of clearlake, above the city of Nice. First thought it was some really big rocket (with a trail of smoke behind), before realizing it was most likely a meteorite. For that reason I do not know how long it was visible, or where it appeared first. |
