Observer
Name Joseph S
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It was in my opinion a possible impact . It was from my vantage point , no downgrade in brightness . I personally waited for a sonic boom . It looked like a direct hit .slightly north west of Albany NY . But I think it was further than it looked. If it was 40 miles from me it would have hit Schenectady NY .
