Reports Report 5128b (Event 5128-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Randy S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I reported a meteor/fireball once before, but that was in a vehicle on the freeway. Maybe that was bigger considering it was through a windshield with oncoming lights (with two of us seeing it)... but this was more moving. Incredible sight, and I was lucky I was out jogging for 40 minutes. |
