Reports Report 1406a (Event 1406-2015)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Courtney T |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have never seen anything like this before. The sky is partly cloudy, and this was so bright and strong in the sky. It was also light blue, which I have never seen before. Also I have never seen a meteor/fireball that had TWO "dots" or "rocks" in it, traveling in the same line ( very closely together, but far enough apart to distinguish them as two separate rocks.) As soon as I saw this I rushed inside and drew a picture. Overall though, it was a slow moving, pulsating meteor that apparently had fragmented in two. |
