Observer Name Trevor A Experience Level 2/5 Remarks Was driving west with my family when it flashed over town to the west. Only the fourth meteor I’ve seen in 20 years that was brighter than the city’s light pollution. First time reporting, only did after reading other accounts online for this week. Thanks.
