Reports Report 1037db (Event 1037-2015)

Observer
Name Ernie L
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My son who lives about 5 miles away, called me to report that he saw a bright meteor. It appears we saw the same object. I first thought it was fireworks, because it was bright and moving slower than other meteors I have seen and much larger.
