Reports Report 5441afw (Event 5441-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rhonda H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have watched the odd meteor shower when the media has mentioned them and seen the odd thin steak (shooting star) in the sky. This was not expected, bright, spectacular and I was overly excited to have seen it. Even more excited that I was able to have captured it on my dashcam. ** I was unable to drag the "man" icon on the map to illustrate my location when I observed the "fireball". My exact location when it was observed was south bound on the Highway 400 (trans Canada Highway) in Ontario just south of the 11th Line bridge that crosses over the 400. This was between Highways 89 and 88. Roughly at 44.146344, -79.642242 from Google maps. |
