| Name | John V |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I’m a photographer and no stranger to the night sky, I’ve spent a fair amount of time at night photographing the Milky Way. I saw one of these fire balls near sunset, the sun was still above the horizon. There is an air force base in this area, but these were not jets. I have multiple pics, whatever this was, looks like nothing I’ve seen. The moon was nearly full that night and was probably at 70 degrees when I shot this pic. I’ve never seen meteors in these conditions. Not even NEOWISE!! |
