| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Patricia B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were driving on M-28, having just left the downtown area of Negaunee (we're pretty sure it was Negaunee), we were rounding a bend in the round near a motel, and saw the meteor. We were in the car listening to the radio and it happened so fast, we were unable to tell if there were noises associated with the meteor. It disappeared behind the treeline, but was far enough in front of us around the bend that we argued about whether it hit land or Lake Superior. |
