Reports Report 1083ba (Event 1083-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Carl J K |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | While fishing at the end of the pier with a friend, we remarked to each other about a helicopter coming across the lake wether it was a black hawk from Little Rock AFB, AR. or just a local Sherrie helicopter. When the helicopter had come to passing us, we were looking directly a the direction the meteor came from just below and before the helicopter. So we had a perfect view of the night sky and the meteor. The reflection off the lake was spectacular as the water was perfectly still. We remarked that it must have scared the crap out of the helicopter pilot! I was waiting for the sonic booms, but they did not come, so I suspect that the rock may not have entered enough atmosphere to do so. We didn't catch any fish, but we thoroughly enjoyed that site! |
