| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Brian L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I go out and watch the ISS pass overhead, so I know it wasn't this. I also live close to a small airport, and I know it wasn't a plane. This meteor lasted longer and was more visible than the very quick shooting star meteors I have seen. White with red tail (very small tail) |
