Reports Report 181i (Event 181-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | John D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I may have the magnitude wrong. There's a lot of ambient light in the area, and it still looked bright. If it didn't burn up, it looked like it may have hit close by, maybe even in Northern CT. I'm sure you know how deceiving they can be though; I'm just saying it was the 'closest' one I've seen since the 70's. |
