| Name | Bob E |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It looked wing shaped and silver ish when I first saw it. My first thought was the meteors caught on tape in Russia a few years ago.I was suprised when it ended so fast Clear beautiful daytime sighting, looked different than the meteors I have seen More like smoke around the leading edge than light, Less tail but all my experience is with nighttime meteor observation This was so cool, I hope others report... |
