Reports Report 957a (Event 957-2010)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Georgiann E |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen anything so bright and wide before falling from the sky and so close I thought a piece of it might land on the earth. My husband, Bill, and I were sitting in the park enjoying the night air and all of a sudden this happened. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me. Later I heard there was a large meteorite shower above Canada the same night this happened here in Liberal, KS. |
