Reports Report 488s (Event 488-2014)

Observer
Name Timothy B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was a unique viewing experience. I did not immediately recognize it as a meteor because of its brightness and color. It reminded me of a firework display, but it was silent and did not fragment, seeming to burn out only a few hundred feet from the ground
