Reports Report 3737ob (Event 3737-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Christen B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It seemed very local, but I am reading reports of a meteor around this exact time in Ontario. I watched that time lapse and it appeared that comet was moving very quickly. The one that I saw seemed to be merely falling, almost exactly falling straight toward earth, at a slower rate. |
