Reports Report 2856u (Event 2856-2018)

Observer
Name P B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It appeared just east of and slightly below Cassiopeia. I initially thought it was a Perseid but it moved slowly. It travelled through Cassiopeia in a westerly direction and fizzled out near Perseus. Appeared to perhaps be burning as it travelled. Definitely not a satellite, Iridium Flare or Chinese lantern.
