| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I observe the sky daily, even on the most cloudy of days. Year round. Saw some brilliant, Bright meteorites this year so far, many outside of the reported meteorite showers are forecasted even!! This had no angle other than straight down fall. I heard nothing about it on my police scanner either. I'm an amateur astronomer, it's my passion, almost an obsession. I've never seen anything like this, especially the fact that it didn't fall at an angle of any degree....literally straight down like someone dropped it from an aircraft lol :) |
