Reports Report 1415nd (Event 1415-2019)

Observer
Name Jennifer F
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was a beautiful blue streak of light that only lasted for 5-10 seconds. My 15 year old son was in the car with me as I was taking him to school. He was so excited by the sight. He immediately said “its a shooting star”. I knew it wasn’t a shooting star but I was super confident that it was not a plane. It moved fast and disappeared too quickly to be a plane. The color was also brilliant. I’m not 100% sure about what we observed because I have no astronomy expertise but it was a wonderful sighting and glad my son and I saw this together.
