Reports Report 3066n (Event 3066-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mitz D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I don't consider myself an astronomer on any level, but I go out of my way to see meteor showers and often travel to the desert for meteor events so I'm more than a casual observer...A meteor enthusiast would be more accurate. Since the fireball/meteor shot over Irvine, California, I was hoping one of the young techies in that college area of town got a video of it, but I haven't seen anything on it yet. |
