Reports Report 7320ac (Event 7320-2023)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ted F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving at the time, with the radio on, so I would not have been able to hear any related sounds. It is a very dark, rural road and I was the only car. I was traveling NNW about 20 mph. There was a waxing gibbous moon. My initial thought was that it reminded me of the dash cam footage of the Chelyabinsk meteor. |
