Reports Report 1916b (Event 1916-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Shannon D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | While this was certainly one of the largest one I've seen, it's not the only one I've seen. As I stepped out to let the dog out, I looked up and saw it moving slower than a typical meteor. My view was quickly obstructed by trees, so it's possible it had been in the sky longer, and it's possible it stayed visible longer. I just couldn't tell because of the trees. |
