| Name | Steve C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was the largest meteor, longest tailed and longest visual I've ever seen before. Virtually from horizon to horizon though patchy clouds, Looked almost like a launch. What first caught my attention as the brightness as I was walking out to my car. We have a commuter plane rout and it was roughly in that vicinity but it was much brighter then went nearly vertical /south of my position overhead and disappeared over the western horizon from my POV. |
