Reports Report 1959dj (Event 1959-2026)

Observer
Name Sarah C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was traveling north on IH 35 towards San Antonio and was somewhere around 1604 in Avon Ormy. I am certain that I saw the meteor to the northeast. It was a pretty vertical trajectory but I am less certain about the angles that put. Again I don’t think I saw the whole thing. I just saw the last couple seconds of it because it caught my eye while driving. I wanted to report it because I think it was seen over Houston but I didn’t see anyone report it as far south as I saw it
