Reports Report 2643d (Event 2643-2026)
| Observer | |

| Name | Bill B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was on land when I observed the meteor/fireball far out over the Chesapeake Bay. It was exactly 4:38 AM. I may have indicated the first point on the map tiles incorrectly. I was on land at 7845 Denton Ave, Baltimore, MD, 21219, and I was looking out across the bay... to the southeast. I thought that first map / the 'point of view' location was asking me where I thought the location of the meteor was, but after doing the rest of the map exercise, I think you were asking me where I was standing when I saw the meteor/fireball. |
