Reports Report 1260e (Event 1260-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Douglas L |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The brightness question was a little hard to answer. It was very bright, not enough to throw light on anything in front of me, but still very bright. The size was probably looking through my fingers from an arms length away, about 2mm. Coolest thing I've seen in awhile, but who knows how far away it landed if it even did. |
