| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Steve S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Unbelievable!! Perfectly round, with a tail the same color as the fire ball. This was not like others I have seen almost like a fast moving perfect star. Venus was very bright this morning and appeared large. The meteor was larger the Venus, blue green in appearance. Was going hunting with my Dad, we both saw it and enjoyed the experience. I hope others saw this and will report. |
