Reports Report 6213j (Event 6213-2021)

Observer
Name Donald H
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks The brightest and longest meteor I’ve seen. I also observed an object further east much like a satellite only bigger brighter none flashing of course. This object was slower and not following the typical flight paths of regular satellites. Lasted around 8 to ten seconds and winked out. A rather unusual night for me. Thank you
