| Name | john h |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Whatever I saw was seen through a large tree. It is possible that it was a fireworks (Roman Candle), but I heard no sound. The even occurred just as I went out on the back deck and was bright enough to be seen through the foliage of a large tree. About 15 minutes later I saw a second, unspectacular meteor not related to the first but odd in the sense that I only see a few meteors per year and this was two in the same evening. |
