| Name | Jamal S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen the Perseids meteor shower before in upstate NY, and this recent observation was far larger and brighter than the average meteor I saw during the Perseids of 2020. The meteor was moving at incredible speed and then disappeared after a few seconds (I'd say a solid 3-5 sec, enough to confirm it wasn't a normal light in the sky. I highly doubt it was any aircraft. |
