Reports Report 1778d (Event 1778-2020)

Observer
Name Joey C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The longest lasting one I've ever seen. It was odd at first as if it was falling fast straight down from the sky and surprised to see it last as long as it did. Whats best about this one I actually had a skyscraper (Williams Tower) within in view and right next to this meteor, which made it really easy to determine it's trajectory. Brightness didn't change at all until it faded out.
