Reports Report 1666a (Event 1666-2012)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lundberg M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking up a slight hill over the tops of trees, so the reported altitude might be lower than actual. Venus was the only other object visible in the sky (full moon was beginning to set behind me), and the meteor was certainly brighter than Venus. The best one I\'ve ever seen! |
