Observer
Name Leigh B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was outside with my dog and just happened to look up. I’ve seen meteors many times, but they have always been very high and were just a brief streak of light. This was much lower on the horizon, with a clear trail that appeared to be burning up behind it. It was bright and quick.
