Reports Report 973j (Event 973-2011)

Observer
Name Anna
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It streaked across the sky, very low. After a few seconds my view was blocked by the oak tree canopy on the street. The bright colors were so beautiful and I was shocked by how low it appeared to be. I\'m guessing this was a meteor? It was just before sunrise so it really lit up the sky! ~Anna
