| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Charlie P |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor was traveling almost precisely due west, almost directly above my position--maybe at most about 1 or 2 degrees south of being directly ovehead. Its relative speed appeared from my postion to be similar to that of a typical satellite. I did not see it for long as I was in my car driving (east bound on 95th ave NE near intersection with NE 30th St, Seattle) and it went behind my view shortly after first sighting it. |
