Reports Report 80e (Event 80-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rosanna G |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it was sprinkling rain but the skies were clear that night, so wondered if meteor dust was falling on me. I was very dehydrated the next day. I was taking a 20 minute walk outside when I noticed the meteor. It happened very quickly and didn’t see where it landed but it had to be very close to where I was. It was flying over the 3 story building I was in front of in a downward, curved motion. |
