Reports Report 3151ui (Event 3151-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | James B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it could have possibly been fireworks, except for the lack of sound, the downward travel and brightness even though it appeared to have been quite a distance away. Concerning my time estimate, it is only a rough guess, I could be off by an hour or more. I didn't think too much of it until seeing a story about a meteor in the general direction and time, I observed this . |
