Observer
Name Matt L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks First meteor I ever witnessed accidentally from inside a house. I was seated with a small sector of sky visible through one window sash. If more accurate angular data is desired, I could measure it nearly exactly from my seated position through various features of the window grid in front of the meteor path in the sky.
