Observer
Name Caesy A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Hello. I saw the meteor from my neighbor's back yard. My neighbor and I saw the meteor land. It was very very close to us (maybe 50-100ft) and it definitely landed in one of the surrounding yards. No more than 100ft away from where we were standing. We could not pin point the landing because of the thick tree coverage in our neighborhood.
