Reports Report 529a (Event 529-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | William H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Although I have seen many meteor showers from short brief streaks in the sky to smoke trails with rumbling jet engine sounds I never have witnessed anything like this in my life, I have seen videos of similar things but this is the first I have seen anything that has lasted this long and has left me to believe that it actually may have touched down somewhere in northern Manitoba, although I can't be certain but I am guessing that it may have been approximately 100 to 150 miles north of where I was at. |
