Reports Report 1630b (Event 1630-2025)

Observer
Name Dan B
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This was a fairly slow long-track Earth Grazer traveling around 60 degrees. The green color in this one showed up well on camera - sometimes the camera doesn't record the colors well. I did not witness it in person. The video contains another unrelated meteor that occurred a few hours earlier but I combined them into one presentation.
