| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Rick C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | In contrast to a typical "shooting star", this event moved much slower, maybe half the speed of a normal shooting star, and the visible bright object was relatively large, maybe 5 to 10 times larger than Jupiter appears in the sky. Finally, it's trajectory was vertically straight down. |
