Observer
Name Don H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was in the west lower level seating at the University of Alabama football game. I was looking for the Direct TV Blimp flying above Bryant-Denny Stadium when I observed the meteor over the north end zone of the stadium. It was bright white and moving rapidly eastward. I alerted fans around me and everyone watched it for the few seconds it was visible. It was the brightest and largest I've seen in years.
