Reports Report 494a (Event 494-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Fred W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Seen from inside with the lights on, no stars visible, just the moon. Clear view west from our hillside of Berkeley, the SF Bay and SF and Marin counties. It appeared to steak over the bay, towards SF. Reminded me of the Oct. 17, 2013 meteor I saw from Emeryville which landed in Marin county. Lasted long enough for my partner to gasp and point it out and for me to turn, see it, and watch it for 2-3 more seconds. |
