Observer
NameBrian S
Experience Level3/5
RemarksThis was the brightest meteor I have seen for several years but nowhere near as large or as bright as one I saw a few years ago. It was almost as far above the horizon as Orion but was to the right (south) of Orion. I just happened to be looking directly at that part of the sky when it appeared.
