Reports Report 985c (Event 985-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jason N |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was far bigger and clearer than any of the photo's I have seen. I did not know there was any meteor activity that night. I was at my back door trying to coax my dog in as he was outside having a wee. I have never seen anything so dramatic in my life. It was so very close. It appeared to explode over the golf course however, it is impossible for me to know how far it was away in reality. The rock inside the glow was easy to see until it exploded in a massive glow. I checked the time and it was around 1.30am early morning on the 23rd of April. The direction of the after streak appeared to be heading out to see toward Anglesey Island. |
