This report has been linked to the following event: Event 4635-2016
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | James K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | from reading other reports, this may have been a separate meteor from a larger shower of numerous meteors. The one I saw seemed extremely close, I'd say within 20 miles off my location. I don't see how this could be the same meteor people reported seeing from Tampa, Fl. There must have been multiple meteors that night. |
