Reports Report 3582h (Event 3582-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Amy F |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was not a typical meteor observance. This was clearly something that came into our atmosphere. It came down, and did not just scratch the surface of our atmosphere. It was small. I was with a friend and we thought at first it looked like a large, very bright Roman candle. However, it didn’t arc up and then down like such. We couldn’t see where it actually started because it came out of a very large dark cloud. |
