Reports Report 7267gk (Event 7267-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Theresa M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Although my first thought was a meteorite, because it began fairly low in the sky and ended before reaching the horizon, I believed it must have been a flare from a flare gun until I heard the media reports. Note that I did not have a timepiece with me, thus my time of sighting is not exact. |
