Observer
Name Marc L
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Full video of event is posted to the Meteor Marc youtube chan at https://youtu.be/ndnZq-Poves and has been linked to the AMS site. This was pretty amazing to happen during the 4th and with all the fireworks going on all around us as we watched. I noticed that numerous other AMS users have reported on this one also. My take on it is that nature wanted to participate in the celebrations with us :) As always ...Enjoy your fireball!
