Reports Report 1973e (Event 1973-2014)

Observer
Name Thomas W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Just saw an awesome meteor on a very slow burn going South to North over Colorado zip code 80820 directly overhead heading toward Denver. Lost sight of it as it dropped on the horizon toward the bright lights coming from the North - I've never seen such a slow burning, long burning falling star with an increasingly longer trail!
