| Remarks | driving south on 99 I noticed the bolide/meteor. it lasted long enough for me to say "wow look at the meteor" and for the passenger to spot it and say "wow" I then said it was moving fast, he replied yes. Bright as the current moon phase (3/4), he said it left a trail visible through the front winshield of van. |
