Reports Report 5945ax (Event 5945-2023)

Observer
Name Bill I
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was very excited to see this. I live off-grid in a very dark area of Idaho. I was surprised at how slow it was moving (compared to other meteors I frequently see). I was in a dark cabin reading when I saw it in the window. I watched till it disappeared on the horizon then quickly made it outside to listen for the boom of it hitting, but didn't hear anything.
