Reports Report 2346d (Event 2346-2024)

Observer
Name Eileen K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks We saw this driving south on a highway (address indicated earlier), it was very dramatic and unlike any other meteors we’ve ever seen, very large and bright, lasting far longer than we expected and then quickly faded/disappeared from view—took note of time and location, but we were traveling at highway speed—overall very memorable
