Observer
Name Kathryn B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I observed the meteor from inside my home. We have 12 foot high windows that face the south. We live on a farm. The sun shined throughout the day and the evening I sighted the meteor it was clear weather. It evidently appeared closer than I thought as we looked within a half mile from our house twice however never found the meteorite. It was a great sighting.
