| Name | Andrew H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Reference to horizons, I am surrounded by trees. Iwas sitting on my deck and there was a very obvious bright orange object shooting straight up, visible thru thick oak trees from the south. As soon as it cleared the trees it was obvious it was a huge meteor, unlike anything ive seen, i see the typical shooting star frequently here. It went straight across the sky headed almost due north. Had a long orange tail, two fists long. Then it disappeared into the trees on other side of yard, this hard to describe horizon, at least half. Whole event like 3 seconds...looked very much like the first set of pics w green check marks. |
