Reports Report 31lz (Event 31-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tara M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was still quite dark, so it seemed very bright. It was at the same level and angle of airplanes landing at the Richmond airport, I fleetingly thought it was a plane on fire on a crash landing. But it was quiet and so quick I realized it was a meteorite or “shooting star”. |
