Reports Report 31yc (Event 31-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Zoltan M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking west, over the Delaware River from Trenton toward Morrisville. That's the opposite direction, if your fireball was over the Atlantic. Still, it's a peculiar coincidence, because I believe I saw this at the exact same time. I may have a video from the vehicle I was driving. |
