Name | Bill P |
Experience Level | 5/5 |
Remarks | Expert with 18,329 observed meteors. This was the most bright BLUE/green ever witnessed-paint palate P460-2" "tropical waterfall". This contrasted with deep red slow meteor, paint palate M150-2"+2 mag I saw on Mar 17, 2015. The intense, early brightening indicates steep descent high velocity. Almost identical brightness of rising waning gibbous Moon. |
