>Point meteor seen at approximately 30d above horizon and bearing about 358d.

>Flare reached a maximum magnitude of about -3.7

>Color of flare:  white
>
>Duration of flare:  approximately 1.5s

>Notes:  Venus was available for comparison so the estimate of magnitude is
>reasonably accurate.  Meteor was definitely a point, no discernable
>movement up or down could be seen.  Immediately following the final flare a
>dull orange object was seen to travel downward.  The initial magnitude of
>the object I would guess at about +3.5.  The object faded rapidly, being
>visible for no more than 0.5s from my location.
