Observer
Name Kae E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving at the time It appeared. My car was facing in a roughly westerly direction. The meteor entered my field of view from the upper right hand portion of the windshield and arced away from me, slightly to the left and towards the horizon where it disappeared behind some trees. I was looking for some kind of flash from behind the trees but saw nothing.
