Reports Report 804r (Event 804-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Barbara K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was a very bright and somewhat large meteor(?) The road was very dark - it came straight down, not at a rapid rate, but at a distance from me. It was in my eye of sight because the road was straight and no homes or trees hindered my view. As an amateur I would call it a falling star, not a shooting star that I was able to see until trees or buildings obscured my view. |
