| Remarks | Ive seen alot of long quarter sky meteors in my day. I make sure to catch 3 or 4 shows a year. I live at 4600 feet and have a wide open north 180degree view. Ive owned and used multiple niiiice telescopes for 25 years. Im also an accomplished wildlife photographer and dronographer. I only say all this because I've never seen one like this ever. It was incredible. We were inside our house, and it appeared in the big picture window at about 60 degrees, but like i said, we didn't see it originate. We just saw it travel to the horizon as we talked about it happening. It could have been 6 or 7 seconds. And it could have appeared at zenith, or to the west, we only saw it appear in our picture window, and it had clearly been traveling for a while. |
