Reports Report 3447a (Event 3447-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bree F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve never seen anything like this (much brighter, more sustained and wider/flashier than the few shooting stars I’ve observed). I searched the web and found your website. What I saw looked like the picture on your site above “Meteor Activity Outlook for June 27-July 3, 2020.” I’m wondering if this was perhaps Southern delta Aquariids or alpha Capricornids? It Perseids? Can you please tell me? It was stunning. |
