Reports Report 956c (Event 956-2024)

| Name | Brent M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was sitting inside a 2nd floor condo in the Palace Hotel that I just rented for the week and it appeared directly above the Tenderfoot "S" Mountain in Salida Colorado.. It was _perfectly_ framed in the window so I feel I have accurate heading information. I happened to be looking out the window at the exact time it started. It was the longest, brightest meteor I have ever seen and lasted at least 3 seconds. If you need more information, please contact me via email |
