Reports Report 7512f (Event 7512-2024)

Observer
Name Vincenzo C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was driving NB on I-5 and saw a streak near the crescent moon out of my left peripheral and thought it was a reflection of the dashboard. I rolled down the window and was totally amazed I forgot if it was called a meteror or meteorite or meteoroid. I excitedly told my wife to start recording from her iPhone. The trail was long and then disappeared.
