Reports Report 2469e (Event 2469-2017)
| Observer | |

| Name | Ralph E |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor was seen for some 5-7 seconds, it was bright enough to see through the mostly clouded sky. Almost spanning from horizon to horizon, coming in from the East, moving through North at some 50° degrees height and disappearing at the Western horizon. Similar brightness throughout the passage. Slow for a meteor but much too fast to be of artificial origin. The exact time of 21:59 was established via the BRAMSTV application of the BRAMS meteor detection network. The resulting echo is the single biggest echo I have ever seen when looking up the radio graphs of bright meteors that I observed in person. |
