Reports Report 2716i (Event 2716-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Walter B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This was the brightest meteor that I've seen in broad daylight, but it wasn't the best one that I've ever seen. One night about thirty-five years ago I watched two meteors bounce across the night sky like stones skipping across the water. It could have been one that broke up, because they were very close together just as I looked up and saw them. That display lasted about 2 seconds before they both burned up together. I've never seen anything like it ever since. |
