Reports Report 3057a (Event 3057-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cari D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | When I looked up, I saw a bright trail of light with a ball on one end that persisted for another 10 seconds or so. I called my kids attention to it, and we watched it until it broke up into sparkles. The photo is terrible, but you can see the faint smudge across the photo beneath the moon that shows the trail. The timing is within 20 minutes or so. |
