I didn\'t know that there was a place you could report things like this. Even though its now nearly a month ago sence we saw the meteor, we had an unobstructed view. Pretty cool! Something I won\'t forget anytime soon!

Remarks
It caught my attention as my son and I were walking to our car from Emmerton Elementry School. It was very bright with a very wide contrail like trail which seemed to mirror the path of Tollgate Road. I\'m not sure if we witnessed it burning out due to a tree line that is present. It was extreamly bright, dominating the surrounding street lights that are present. The trail did fade from right to left.
