Reports Report 245ad (Event 245-2011)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Daniel C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | While I only saw the meteor for a second, it was very bright and had an extremely long and fiery tail behind it. While heading westbound on the Northern state Parkway, it appeared as though its trajectory was leading it to fall into the Long Island Sound, but it may have been too high in the sky to splash down there. |
