| Name | michael b |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I witnessed the 1992 meteor while in a field training exercise in Maryland, this was as vivid, the trajectory for this was very different and it lasted for maybe 3-5 seconds. It was bright, very visible and beautiful. I am shocked no local camera picked this up because it lit up the sky briefly. |
