Reports Report 676y (Event 676-2023)
| Observer | |

| Name | Deidre L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was lucky to see it. I happened to be walking through the cemetery, and there were no lights. I think if I were walking on a city street, I may not have noticed. I don’t think I’ve observed a meteor for 25 years before this, and that was in Arizona. It was exciting. The time was actually 6:15 am. I texted my husband when I saw it. I wish I’d gotten a picture or video, but it was so fast. |
