Reports Report 8926e (Event 8926-2021)

Observer
Name Frank P
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This was a very exciting experience. The colors were magnificent. Very long, and bright, even though the skies are hazy here in South Central Pennsylvania. I was just within 5 minutes of having my camera set up, to take time lapse photos of the night sky with hopes of capturing some meteors. I have seen many fireballs, though I've been unable to capture one on camera.
