Reports Report 3962a (Event 3962-2026)

Observer
Name Paul R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This is mostly memory. I did not see the beginning of it. I turned my head and it was already happening, I wanted to look back as I was walking away because Beetlejuice was very bright tonight, and there it was. At first I thought is was something lower, because of the speed and the brightness. I knew it was a meteor because of the way it behaved and burnt out. Sky was not great for stars, so it was a decently bright one but not close (or big) enough to hear a boom.
