Reports Report 3629a (Event 3629-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Stacy K |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shooting stars, meteor showers and satellites before, but I have never seen anything like this. It was remarkably low, below the skyline of the Oakland hills, in the sky, but higher than backyard fireworks. It was a large, blue-green orb that became yellow then disappeared. |
