Reports Report 1246b (Event 1246-2011)

Observer
Name Tom
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were driving and saw a white streak for about a second. The trajectory was down toward the horizon and a little bit to the southeast. The really notable thing is this is Los Angeles where light pollution is about as bad as it can get and seeing a meteor is very unusual. Away from the city lights it must have been much brighter.
