Reports Report 2384gn (Event 2384-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Daniel D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | IMPORTANT note to determine the exact position. I was looking directly at Venus (the only planet I can identify in the sky with certainty) when I noticed a second planet, parallel to it, that looked exactly like Venus. It took a while for me to notice that this second object was moving away from Venus. Then it exploded. |
