Observer
NameMichael I
Experience Level4/5
RemarksThis was a cold, clear afternoon, The Sun was still up and bright. This meteor was very easily seen against the daylight. I first thought it was some blue Mylar fluttering above the shopping center. At night it would have been incredible and certainly would have left a visible plasma trail. I'm so happy!
