| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Quinn F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It lasted roughly roughly 3 seconds, possibly longer but the view became obstructed through tress, however definitely no longer than 5 seconds total. The core of the meteor was white with a orangish-red, orange, light orange, and light yellow ombre surrounding. It left a white trail which dissipated into the sky quickly, no longer than a second after the meteor was in that position. There could have been possibly fragmentation and noise, however there was an airplane obstructing clear definition of any sound that could have been made by the meteor. |
