Reports Report 3807pe (Event 3807-2016)

Observer
Name Jeff S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen anything like this. I was just driving to work like I do every morning - right place at the right time I guess since it only lasted a few seconds. It was so close and bright with brilliant colors - totally different than the typical shooting star that is dim and way high up in the sky. I had to search the internet to see if other people saw what I did. Glad I found your website.
