| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Gregory W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor appeared in front of the Berkeley Hills, so I am attempting to adjust my horizon angles to compensate for lack of a visible horizon. It seemed like it was going low over the hills, which means closer to midway above the horizon. |
