Name | Kai M |
Experience Level | 4/5 |
Remarks | Best meteor sighting in Los Angeles I've ever seen by FAR, and much brighter than most clear sky meteors I've seen. Intense white, and approximately vertical travel, almost as if straight down which is relative to my view on a 30 degree grade looking upward east, slightly south |
