Reports Report 2539w (Event 2539-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robert G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Definitely NOT a firework. Object started nearly straight overhead as a round white ball which became much brighter, changed to a bright hot purple, before returning to white and nearly made it to the southeastern horizon. Most impressive was its longevity. I am used to see a quick streak, but this traveled nearly half the skyline. |
