Reports Report 954p (Event 954-2025)

Observer
Name Brian N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Im an amatuer to astronomy, but ive seen many videos of this same event. Coolest thing ive ever witness. Was driving home from work. Was smoking so i had the windows down ( i thought it could possibly be a light reflection from ongoing traffic at first. I could not believe myself that i would witness it ) so i had clear vision of the meteor falling down.
