Reports Report 982f (Event 982-2013)

Observer
Name Dave L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have never seen a meteor this large in my entire life. It reminded me of the footage from Russia. I was driving home late at night on I-89 s and this was a large and persistent mark across the sky that appeared to continue and possibly make landfall in the quechee area. Unfortunately it was very late at night so I doubt any one else was up at the time.
