Reports Report 1602ab (Event 1602-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Paul R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen some big ones in the past including one that exploded at night and turned the area as bright as if the sun were out, though that one I just saw the giant flash. This is by far the closed one I've seen streaking, since the detail of the fireball and particles was so detailed. |

| Remarks | a lot of trailing particles, quite bright as it wasn't dark yet and still seemed bright. We were driving and didn't hear anything, probably due to road noise. It seemed very close, perhaps less than two miles, but hard to tell for sure. |
