Reports Report 495a (Event 495-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Helene M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was inside a vehicle traveling on Route 90 between exits 45 and 46 (closer to 46) when I viewed the fireball, so am not sure of exact location or time. It was the brightest, largest and closest meteor I have ever seen. It seemed to be traveling straight downward from my viewpoint and appeared to be over the city of Rochester or suburb of Webster or perhaps over Lake Ontario. |
