Reports Report 3525b (Event 3525-2020)

Observer
Name Rita S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I'm not sure of the exact time and how accurate it is. The meteor went from NE to SW over my head. We were sitting on our deck. Seeing these are always exciting to see. This is my 3rd----all accidental. I saw one that exploded in the sky. One lit up my patio and was on the news; this is the smallest I have seen but still very exciting.
