Reports Report 5727cu (Event 5727-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Adam R |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I have a full view right down to the horizon which is the South Coast approx 12miles away. The actual teminal flash was visually directly above the coastal town of Hastings. In reality I suspect it may have been several miles out at sea - with the apparent decellaration simply due to forshortening of apparent travel due to earth curvature! I would be very interested to know if anyone else saw this! |
