Experience Level | 3/5 |
Remarks | NOTE: I did not personally observe this meteor, as I was inside at the time, thus I do not know if there were any sounds, exact brightness, color, trail, etc. I saw reports on Twitter, pulled up my camera, as it is facing to the ESE, and noticed it caught the meteor. All observations are based on the location of the camera, and the approximate direction it looks in/altitudes compared to a daylight shot from earlier in the day. The meteor first appears at 23:18:21 EST and disappears at 23:18:23 EST. I do not know if it was visible before/after that, as there are tree branches and a deck in the line of sight that could have obscured the view.Thanks,Tim |
