Reports Report 4099m (Event 4099-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Julia S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The shape, speed, and size reminded me of a large meteorite (i saw one meteor shower a couple of years ago... the Perseids, I think). However, the green and red on this thing were very distinct. There was no sound as far as I can tell. There was little ambient noise, and my hearing is quite keen. Please let me know if anyone else saw it/you figure out what it was! I would really be interested in finding out more about the object that (briefly) brightened up my night. |
