Reports Report 3205a (Event 3205-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Caitlin V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was approaching a tunnel as I saw it, so I only caught a short glimpse and it may have been higher on the horizon than it appeared to me because of the hill. Also, I heard from other friends who reported seeing the same meteor but with a better view. They said it started as a bright explosion, traveled left to right, and grew into a very large white ball until it dissipated. |
