American Meteor Society

Reports Report 2229e (Event 2229-2015)

Observer
Name JORGE M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I determined it was a meteor because the location & angle i viewed it from happens to be a path for landing airplanes at FLL airport, so compared to the landing air craft it moved at least 3x as fast. being that it was night time it could've either appeared to most like a jet or lightning due to the location & weather but it was so bright & fast it could not possibly be anything other than a meteor to me.
