| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mike R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It caught my eye to my right as I was walking more or less east; it looked like a large meteor I once spotted during a meteor shower, and was especially noticeable because it was relatively early in the evening. It certainly could have been something else (consumer firework, maybe?) but it had the downward and straight line trajectory (and velocity) that I associate with meteors low on the horizon. |
