| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tom A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | this was the biggest meteor event I have ever witnessed. This might have been a quarter to half as big as the one in Russia or perhaps a bit smaller, where it flew over which I estimate by the delay to be about 60 seconds to 90 seconds, so I estimate about 50 miles away. |
