| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jan D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | For verification, I initially posted that night about what we saw on Facebook. When no one else responded, I deleted it. However, I mentioned it again when I forwarded a news post about the Ohio meteor boom the following Tuesday. Am just now reporting it since I have continued to see additional reports. I didn’t know it was possible to do so until I saw a post by Acuweather! |
