| Name | Kim W |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was daylight and the meteor surprisingly bright, colorful trail. Thought it might be fire works but too big and crossing sky w/ slight downward angle, not up / down so not right for fireworks. I was driving so just a brief glance. Seems similar timing for Mark R observation in pending for Santa Cruz CA. First time to this web page. Found by looking for reported sightings. |
