| Name | Patrick P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | At first this didn't act like any meteor we'd observed from a meteor shower. I thought that it might be a piece of space junk burning up in the atmosphere. The next day i contacted my brother, who works at the AF Satellite tracking station in new boston, NH. He advised that there were numerous reports all over the Northeast about this event and that it was probably a meteor that fragmented in mid flight. |
