Observer
Name Cliff O
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks My wife and I were watching the SpaceX rocket heading to the NNE horizon when we saw the meteor. By far the most brilliant, colorful meteor we have ever seen. Apparent angular width about 1/4 of the full moon diameter, looked very close like it was going to land a block away. Fascinating sight that we will remember forever!
