Reports Report 698e (Event 698-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bassler B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Not exactly sure of the color b/c I'm partially color blind but it appeared white to me... also the speed of the fireball was slower and the size was larger than other meteors that I've seen before, ones that were associated with annual meteor showers. From my vantage point it appeared to be falling from the sky rather than passing by, however there was no flash at the end of the trajectory.. it just faded out suddenly. |
