Reports Report 2158aft (Event 2158-2013)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jeanie A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought this was a plane on fire, but it didn't seem large enough. I was driving south on Interstate 75 just before the Niota, Tennessee exit and the flash went from right to left directly in front of me. After I saw it, I quickly checked my clock and saw it was 7:46 pm. It might have been 7:45 while I was watching the event. It was so cool to see the meteor. I've never seen one before. |
