Reports Report 1138c (Event 1138-2017)

Observer
Name Naomi W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was larger and brighter than the last meteors that I observed in the Perseid Meteor Shower. This was also the 2nd meteor that I had observed in that week. The first was between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m. on 3/19/2017. It was also very big and bright. I would like to stay updated about this fireball, however I was unable to check that box on this page from my phone.
