Reports Report 7458a (Event 7458-2020)

| Name | Mike R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I regularly watch for meteor showers, ISS flyovers, etc. This sighting occurred merely by chance. I had just picked up supper for my Dad and was driving to his house. I'm thrilled to have captured this meteor on video with a dashcam. There were a lot of street lights and traffic signal lights at the intersection I was approaching, but I got good footage of it anyway. I'm 53 years old, and this is only the second time I've seen a meteor of this magnitude. I reported one on this website probably 5-10 years ago. |
