| Remarks | Me and my wife were walking our dog and I pointed this out to her, we had no idea exactly what we were seeing and we disagree on it, I think it was a very small meteor but she is uncertain. It was very brief maybe even shorter than what I listed. It certainly wasn't on the high end, but possibly 2 seconds or less. I thought I saw smoke from it so I at first assumed it was a firework but there was nothing around us and no sound to it at all. No one outside around us and my dog was not spooked by any firework noises. It was very cool to see but not exactly sure what it was. I listed 9pm as the time but it may have been closer to 9:15pm if you know anything, I wouldn't mind hearing about it. Thanks! |
