|---|---|
| Name | Richard T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The actual time of observation is uncertain, could be out by 10 minutres or so, as I did not know that I would be able to make a report. I have seen plentu meteor strikes in my life, including some very bright ones. However neither my wife or I have seen anything like what we observed tonight. It was very bright with a very large head and very long tail. It was low in the sky and we lost site of it behind clouds. |
