Reports Report 1984a (Event 1984-2019)

Observer
Name Bret W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I did not see a termination. It disappeared behind a mountain. It was too dark to see a trail. it was much brighter than a star and moving slower than most meteors. I saw it travel for a couple seconds and it did not seem to change color or brightness. It may have been "arching" but I can't be sure of that.
