Reports Report 3483c (Event 3483-2020)

Observer
Name Cliff R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very fast, level trajectory, both quiet and trail less, with the the ejections from the following segments from right to left. Right side was the leading portion. 1/5 forwards, and the 3/5, and 4/5 segments most active, while the brightest was the 2/5, and darkest the 5/5 tail. Never seen anything so big and fast so close to my point of observation. Memorable, and truly awe-inspiring.
