Reports Report 2543fx (Event 2543-2026)

Observer
Name Christine M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was fortunate to be at the right place, at the right time! I was unaware that there could be a meteor siting today. I did not see a visible trail, which makes sense since it was 2:34(ish) in the afternoon on a sunny day. It whizzed by quickly and was extremely bight and shiny in appearance. It was awesome!
