Reports Report 2991c (Event 2991-2016)

Observer
Name Chris C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was amazing. It certainly entered our atmosphere. I wasn't on universal drive north. I was heading north in 91 between exits 6-8 I believe between 10:30-10:45. I've see videos of meteors entering our atmosphere before. It wasn't huge by any means but it seemed to burn out prior to any kind of impact. Beautiful!
