Reports Report 6427z (Event 6427-2020)

Observer
Name Patrick W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was lucky too have seen it. I just walked into my backyard and saw it above the trees out of the left corner of my eye as I was facing almost due north. There is a good amount of light pollution in the sky where I saw it and it was still very visible and clear. It was a large meteor that was moving roughly north to south. I view meteor showers often so I am familiar with what meteors look like.
