| Remarks | the moon was full, and had just risen. The meteor was above the moon, and brighter, as it fell. It fell down past where I could see it. It was bright all the way down. I do not know if it actually hit the ground. I could hear nothing, and did not see any flash of light after it flew out of my sight. But I watched it for at least 15 seconds. It looked like it had red and blue fire spears behind it. I was facing east, looking at the moon when it appeared, about halfway up the from the horizon, it fell from nne to east. It was amazing! |
