| Remarks | The train had glowing pieces in it. I was walking from a house to my car (after 7:45 and before 8) and without looking at the sky, saw a flash on the street. Then I looked up and saw the meteor. I'd been reading on EarthSky.com about the coming Orionoid shower and thought maybe this was part of that, but I realized it was a few days earlier than that shower is expected. It was thrilling to see it! |
