Reports Report 2023ca (Event 2023-2013)

Observer
Name James M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The meteor may have made noise but was hard to tell as we were less than 50 feet away from a very busy route 106 which was carrying traffic from the New Hampshire Motor Speedway following the NASCAR Sylvania 300 race event. Hearing may have also been still recovering from a very loud day at the race.
