Name
M. F
Experience Level
4/5
Remarks
During the first several seconds the meteor appeared to be traveling towards me from north to south, because it was spherical shaped burning light and not coneoid shape. As it decreased in trajectory towards the treeline it moved from west to east across the sky.
