Observer
NameJohn Z
Experience Level2/5
RemarksIt was a beautiful sight! At first glance, I figured no one else saw what I saw, until I found this website and many others saw the same thing as me. It looked like a fireball falling across the sky. Not up and down but more sideways. It was magnificently clear and it was without a doubt a meteor.
