Reports Report 130a (Event 130-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Nancy B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was odd that there was no arc to the path. Usually meteors fall toward the earth, but this one just seemed to streak evenly across the sky, which is why I thought it was a group of jets originally. No sound accompanied them and they did disappear toward the southwest. |
