Reports Report 5707h (Event 5707-2019)

Observer
Name Jamie C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I just happened to see on the news the night before that there were meteors caught on local cameras. I was driving to work and near an airport where I am always gazing up when I definitely feel that I saw a meteor fly across the sky. Very awesome experience. I’m sad I was driving and no way could I have taken a video or picture.
