Reports Report 1992bg (Event 1992-2016)

| Name | Paul D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving at the time and it was not dark yet when I noticed a bright flash moving quickly across the sky out of the top right corner of my eye. Unfortunately, when I looked directly at it, a tree passed and blocked my view for about a second. I did see it briefly again after the tree passed and in the trajectory I originally saw it heading before it suddenly disappeared. I am fairly certain it was a meteor, but I cannot be positive. |
