Reports Report 1787k (Event 1787-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joan O |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | We were traveling by car so I am approximating where we were. It was around the Navasota River area. It was the brightest and largest meteor we've ever seen (we live in the country and see meteor's somewhat frequently) prompting us to check the news to see if anything had happened or if there were other reports of it. My husband and daughter also saw it. |
