| Name | Michael N |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve seen lots of shooting stars, I’ve seen satellites fly by, ive seen the space station go by, ive watched meteors. This was like nothing I’ve ever seen. It was greenish yellow, but very very bright. The trajectory was similar to a shooting star but the scale of whatever I saw was so much larger. It was quite wild to be honest. I wish I had a camera I could’ve captured it on but it was so fast I’m not sure how it would’ve been captured. If I could imagine what a massive star exploding in the sky would look like I think I would’ve thought that’s what I saw. Very cool nonetheless. |
