Reports Report 8249j (Event 8249-2023)

Observer
Name Max Q
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks THIS IS THE GOOD TIMESTAMP (from my screen capture). I was driving in my car. The meteor happened exactly in front of me. I have a near exact timestamp as I made a screenshot of my navigation google maps (within 2 minutes) to remember both location and time. Also the angle is precise. The meteor was brighter than stars as I could not see any stars. So it must have been at least Venus like. Being inside my car I could not hear any sound.
