Reports Report 168aot (Event 168-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Thomas C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have a total of 3 short videos I posted on YouTube from my security cameras. Each video shows the meteor was further south than other trajectories posted online. If you review all 3 videos, based on the shadows from my trees, and the time it took to hear the rumbling/thunder sound, I believe the meteor was traveling almost due-west (SE to NW direction) |
