| Name | robert d |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've seen many meteors but this is the first time I seen one explode. It was like an upside down bottle rocket with an almost perfect round burst. From looking at a map, my location 4.5 miles east of Luling, Tx on Ivy Switch RD running parallel to the train tracks, it was straight to 5 deg south of this parallel line looking west towards Canyon Lake. |
