Reports Report 1697c (Event 1697-2013)

Observer
Name Tom R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Started to see it overhead and watched it till it went over the horizon. It had a "sonic" head, but never heard any booms or noise. Watched it for about 5 seconds which seemed like a lot of time vs the normal shooting star. It seemed to be very close as the colors were bright and vibrant. No clouds in the sky at the time to judge it by.
