Reports Report 1602p (Event 1602-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Derrick W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | No noise/boom, no trails/smoke, no *big* flash at the end, it lit up slightly brighter than it was throughout most of it's inter-atmospheric journey at the very end but not enough, in my opinion, to really justify a "bolide." Maybe technically but it wasn't that exciting. |
