Reports Report 1964a (Event 1964-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | Chad L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | While I was walking tonight, I noticed two meteors traveling together at a downward angle towards the horizon. Because of a tree, I lost sight of them, but I presume they lost no intensity and stayed intact. The whole two seconds or so I saw them, their brightness was stable. Unlike normal meteors that streak across the sky and disintegrate, these looked just like those videos of actual meteor rocks that make it to the ground intact. I'd like to know if anyone else saw what I saw and if they have more information on it. |
