Reports Report 4576e (Event 4576-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tim R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was in the car, so no sound was possible. I am reporting this because the streak increased in size and brightness quite noticeably. It was like going from a fine tip pen typical of a meteor to a big dry erase marker. It may have been under a second, and not much over a second, so I selected the 1-2 second option. I am also reporting it because I did not see any other reports that seemed to match this. I felt the event was very notable compared to most meteors, and so I expected to find something in the news about this. |
