| Remarks | The meteor was very bright; I thought it was a jet in the landing pattern pointed straight at me. It kept getting brighter for several seconds, and got so bright it lit up the haze in the air for 10 degrees around the meteor itself. As it started to dim, it broke up into a dozen or more pieces, each with its own trail. After a few more seconds they all dimmed. |
