Reports Report 5712bz (Event 5712-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | William J |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | There was a light haze/thin layer of clouds in that part of the sky at the time, and my observation of the meteor was entirely as seen THROUGH this layer. This speaks to the brightness of the meteor, which still revealed its ball-like shape through the haze. |
