Observer
Name Courtney W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving on hwy 31 near the Teton Valley Resort. It was a very bright. I first thought someone was shooting fireworks, but I slowed down and saw no other activity. Then realized that it was likely a meteor or other object. It appeared to be very “textbook” in appearance. It was so notable that I noted the exact time.
