Reports Report 966t (Event 966-2013)

Observer
Name Hoehne B
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks There was a slight haze near the horizon, and backscatter could be seen around it as it fell. I would estimate the total duration to be around 3 seconds. This was the brightest bolide I recall seeing since the 1992 Peekskill meteor which I was fortunate to spot.
