Reports Report 2643d (Event 2643-2013)
| Observer | |

| Name | Tammee G |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was coming home from Folsom Lake Observatory where we had witnessed 5-6 meteors from the shower which were the white fast streaks, this was the extreme opposite. I was startled by not only the size but how close it was. It also had long trail like a sparkler and that's what caught my attention was the bright flashes. I hope this is of some use, I tried to see on the internet if anyone saw it. Thank You |
