Reports Report 2618g (Event 2618-2013)

Observer
Name Tyson W
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was headed down hill when the meteor came into view from the top left of my windshield and appeared to burn out just above my view of the horizon. It appeared to be heading to ground rather than a streak in the sky. I have never seen anything like this before, it had a round front and a dimer tail. I actually thought it might be an aircraft on fire heading into Buckley AFB but it appeared to be moving a bit too quick for that.
