Reports Report 3942aq (Event 3942-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This must have been a larger object than an ordinary meteor. It appeared to enter the atmosphere at a shallowish angle from a southerly direction and was on an entirely different course to the space station (which appeared to have 2 other objects, maybe the Russian module and launch vehicle, I don't know for sure, associated with it). The space station passed directly over our location about 15 minutes later. Hope this helps. |
