Reports Report 7611iz (Event 7611-2021)

Observer
Name Edward F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The intensity and brightness were very impressive. It had intensity similar to large fireworks, which was surprising in that the sky was still pretty light at that time (approximately 16:30). It moved across the sky very quickly, faster than a military jet visually.
