Reports Report 3432ay (Event 3432-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Pete R |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was out for a 10 minute walk to cool down after hockey training along an unlit, exposed section of the top of Portsdown Hill. Looking roughly north the occurrence was over extensive farmland and far too high to be man made I'm sure. Quite spectacular, compared to the usual Perseids, etc. as it was so much closer. |
