Reports Report 2357e (Event 2357-2015)

Observer
Name John H
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have witnessed many meteors in my lifetime and enjoy seeing them. This is the first time I have witnessed one that I believe made it all the way to earth. I checked the news this morning to see if any else observed what I did and am coming up empty. Please keep me informed. Are the Doppler radar records available that might suggest where one would "hunt" for a meteor? Thanks. John Hauck
