Reports Report 3282bt (Event 3282-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marissa W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The train was very long, bright, and straight. It did not start or end with any bright explosion from what I remember, but just fizzled out at the end. At first I couldn't tell if it was some kind of plane or piece of space craft falling from the sky, but then it just fizzled out, so that's when I realized it was a shooting star or something. My friend, who was also driving home in the same direction, saw it as well. |
