Reports Report 1679e (Event 1679-2013)

Observer
Name Lauren C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was in my car at the time in the middle of a bridge. This was the largest meteor I have ever observed making it seem much closer to earth than simple "shooting stars." It had a bit of a "tail" which I assume to be trailing fire. Of course, I didn't hear any sounds if there were any due to being in my car. It lasted 2-3 seconds.
