Reports Report 810a (Event 810-2015)

| Name | Forrest L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the brightest meteor I can recall having seen. It passed about a hand span or two from the moon and seemed brighter. I could not tell if it 'burned out' or disappeared behind the clouds. My first sight of it was directly overhead, and fully bright, not faded-in as most meteors do, so I believe it started behind me. It moved much faster than an airplane. |
