Reports Report 2831h (Event 2831-2016)

Observer
Name Tom
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was a fairly large object or meteor in comparison to meteors I've seen in the past. I'm making this assumption of size due to the light it gave off. I recall seeing one in Alexandria , Va in the 80's during the day that was seen by many and made the news. I believe this was much closer to where I was due to how quickly it was moving. It was very bright and I wonder if it may have possibly been falling satellite debris or something similar.
