Reports Report 358j (Event 358-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kris N |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was not looking, and was in an area where there was a significant amount of air traffic (near SeaTac airport), but happened to look up at the right moment. The speed and shape were clearly not air traffic. My time may be off by a few minutes, but I know I got in the car at 7:14 (from the Safeway there) and it's several blocks from that intersection. Do airlines report meteor sitings? There were two incoming flights in the same field of vision. |
