Reports Report 4922fa (Event 4922-2018)

Observer
Name David W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Brightest night time light I have ever seen cast over a long area. 69 years of outdoor living. Light appeared 3-5 seconds before I actually saw the meteor. Talking on the phone at the time. Not certain of the exact time. Wonder about the composition of the metals to produce the color of the light.
