Reports Report 1093c (Event 1093-2011)

Observer
Name Joe A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I\'ve checked the paper and on the internet to see whether anyone else saw the event. I have found no evidence as yet. This was far and away the brightest, largest and lowest \"meteor\" that I have ever seen. The meteor came out of a SE direction and streaked to the NNW. It made a beautiful \"cone\" or \"delta\" shape and was brilliant. It was very easy to see. The colors made me think that it was metallic. Will you confirm for me that others saw the event?
