| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Brightest medeorite I have ever seen. Never seen fragment, before. Plenty familiar with Perseids. Traveling North towards Boston, it appeared to be streaking down towards the city. But, I know distance away from me is difficult to estimate...so it could have been traveling towards Maine or Nova Scotia. But, I know I was looking NNE. |
