| Remarks | I was driving north, stopped at a light when the meteor appeared, it was moving east to west in the sky. It looked like a flare from a fireworks to me, but then a realized it must be a meteor. I watched it. It vanished after 3 seconds or so. It looked larger and brighter than other meteors to me. What a cool thing to see, is all I can say. |
