Reports Report 2543is (Event 2543-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Laura D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I found it strange to see how slowly it appeared be moving from my vantage point, relative to other meteors I've seen, as well as the few fireballs I've seen in New Mexico and rural Vermont. Other meteors or fireballs I've seen moved across or downward very fast and disappeared much faster. This was the longest lasting I've ever seen, and the only daytime one I've witnessed. |
