Reports Report 2085dr (Event 2085-2012)

Observer
Name Andrew M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were stopped in our car when I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I said to my dad, "Was that a meteor?". He said, "No, probably just a bottle rocket". I finally got him to admit perhaps it was because there was no explosion.
