Reports Report 188a (Event 188-2013)

| Name | C B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor I saw was the most brilliant, and brightest meteor I have ever seen. Not certain of the time I saw it. It was likely between 11:45PM on 01/22/2013 and 12:15AM on 01/23/2013. The meteor seen in this video I found is pretty much what I saw, except it didn't burn out so high above the horizon. I followed it down to near-horizon (there were trees blocking my complete view). I stopped and waited to see if there was a boom. I didn't hear anything. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGb7ZLIHbpU |
