Reports Report 5543e (Event 5543-2024)

Observer
Name Kristy R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was an incredible sight! It was fast, and such a bright green. Not a color I’d ever seen in the night sky. I saw it as I drove past Irvine Valley College on my way home. I felt so lucky to have see it! I’ve only seen a brief meteor shower once, and it was interesting, but this was a beautiful sight.
