Observer
Name R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was lying in bed not sleeping with top of my head to the NNW, my eyes open looking out a second story window on the NE side of the house, when a large white disk, much bigger than any planet but much smaller than the moon, moved quickly from the West to the East in a slight downward line. The meteor was circular and it had a trail that was much smaller in width than the ball. If the ball had a relative diameter of"1" then the tail had a length of 10 to 15.
