Reports Report 4984t (Event 4984-2023)

Observer
Name Josh P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Only the third time in 48 years to see a meteor like this. (The showstopper was at Wilderness State Park in Michigan with one going almost horizon to horizon with a fireball and fragmentation.) I had checked Youtube to see if northbound dashcam footage had caught it but none uploaded as of this morning. (8/3/2023)
