Reports Report 6425vq (Event 6425-2020)

Observer
Name Kerry M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Both my partner and I saw it while driving. Not sure if it made a noise or boom as we had music playing. It was the brightest and by far the largest meteor I have ever seen. It looked like it would have actually impacted the ground. I have seen a lot of “shooting stars” but nothing like this before.
