Reports Report 7373a (Event 7373-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ryan M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was brighter, lower and more of an arc than any meteor I had ever seen. I was driving on I-95 after Stamford so location is approximate. I was driving on I-95 north and saw this bright Orange light to the right and it lasted maybe 3 seconds before it disappeared. I am not an astronomer, but I enjoy watching meteor showers late at night. This was like nothing I have ever seen. |
