Reports Report 1899j (Event 1899-2013)

Observer
Name Jay L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was the fattest, lowest meteor I have ever seen; I waited for an explosion - like the recent meteor over Russia - but there was none. It was an awesome experience! I saw it during my morning run. I have enjoyed seeing Orion during these recent morning runs - more beautiful and clear than I have ever seen him - and seeing Jupiter and Mars.
