Reports Report 3032lc (Event 3032-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Crystal R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving eastbound on 79 at the time of the meteor. A few moments after the initial one, I potentially saw another flash or fragmentation outside my driver"s side door, to my north, at a somewhat lower trajectory. There were other cars on the road and it is possible what I saw was a headlight flash or reflection, but it got my attention so quickly after seeing the meteor. |
