Reports Report 3064i (Event 3064-2013)

| Name | Leo K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving north on I-405 through Totem Lake when i saw the meteor come into view at the top edge of my windshield. It appeared to just be fragmenting when I noticed it and then burst into a shower of sparks as it disintegrated and disappeared. There did appear to be a larger object that sustained a little bit longer than the sparkles before it faded. From the view that I had, its trajectory appeared to be somewhere between my position and South Everett. My guess is that it cooled at about 2,000ft above ground level and I wouldn't be surprised if there were some fragments that survived the impact. I'd love to hear more about this and whether anyone captured any visuals of this event. Easily the most remarkable experience I've witnessed with regards to meteorites entering the atmosphere. |
