Name | Mark B |
Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | I'm a meteorite collector, I've had a meteor camera about 5 years, have dabbled in amateur astronomy for 40 years and have seen 6-10 fragmenting meteors before, this was well into Mexico, it must have been spectacular overhead... I'm not a regular meteor show observer and I'm not very well trained at observing and collection of meteor data. I think it probably fragmented, but it was very low and far away, so I wasn't in the right spot. I'm hoping people closer to the event report it and I'm curious what they say. |
