Reports Report 3898h (Event 3898-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lucy B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | My partner also saw it! I’ve watched quite a few meteor showers over the years, this meteor/whatever it was, was very different - seemed to fall down rather than travel across. The Sky was not properly dark. The tail was shorter and seemed to break up/fragment rather than the smooth continuous tails I have seen before. |
