Reports Report 3631g (Event 3631-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christy S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Yes. I was driving. Two to three minutes after the sighting, I was approaching Domaine Carneros at Ca-121 north and Duhig Road in Napa. My clock read 9:00pm. The address that I provided you is approximate. I was on a strip of 121 northbound that had no businesses- only vineyards around me. My windows were up, so I am uncertain of any sound. The duration was probably about five seconds or slightly longer. It was closer and slower than any shooting star that I have seen, and closer and brighter than anything that I have encountered during meteor showers, which always appear smaller and more distant in my experience. |
