Reports Report 5557e (Event 5557-2022)

Observer
Name Bruce J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks One of the brightest meteors I've ever seen. Lasted only a second, close to ground, An my bet is it landed. I'd guess that it could be 20 or 30 miles north on me, and it was almost directly below the North Star, Polaris.
