Reports Report 1790d (Event 1790-2015)

Observer
Name Howard M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was standing on my deck that faces North. I was looking straight up but my body was facing East. The very bright slow moving meteor came into view from the South and was moving North. My view to the South was obstructed by the house so I saw it as it cleared the roof line. I saw it for two to three seconds. It was beautiful!
