Reports Report 980i (Event 980-2022)

Observer
Name Aimee L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was mind blown at the brightness of it...it looked and lasted just like a falling star would have but it was so much more bright and very defined then I have ever seen in my life. It only lasted a few seconds and it didn't blink...it was way too fast and gone too soon to have been anything other than a falling star or fireball....unless aliens?😂
