Reports Report 2908akl (Event 2908-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | Peggy T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My first thought was aircraft explosion. The event seemed remarkably close to me, and was very different from tiny white shooting stars I have observed deep in the distance in the dark of night. It occurred at twilight, which is not a time I would expect to see a shooting star. I was in my parked car, on a bit of a hilltop, when I saw it. Another person was with me. We both exclaimed, Did you see that? Then we said, A meteor? |
