Reports Report 1588a (Event 1588-2013)

Observer
Name Eve B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was extremely bright, and unlike any meteor I've seen before. I just happened to be lying in bed looking out the window when I saw it. My sightline was obstructed by the roof of the neighboring house, so I wasn't able to see the full path of the meteor closer to the horizon.
