Reports Report 6206lk (Event 6206-2024)

Observer
Name Peter A
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was driving, and the meteor ended almost exactly ahead of me on the road the beginning of the meteor was obscured by trees or a building. I don't know my exact location along the road, but it was along the straight section indicated on the map, so the azimuth angle is pretty exact. I'm pretty fuzzy about the altitude/elevation angle. The time was exactly 7:00 on my car's clock, between 7:00 and 7:01 (my clock is set within about a minute of true time)
