Reports Report 3246ae (Event 3246-2013)

Observer
Name Robert K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen many meteors in the past. One time in California I grew weary of seeing so many on one particular night however this one i am now reporting was spectacular. The best experience by far for me. I do recall hearing large bangs that sounded like cannons in i think it was 2003 here in the southwest suburbs of chicago and it was in fact reported that many small meteors struck at that time.
