Reports Report 1076o (Event 1076-2022)

Observer
Name Ashley M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have never seen a “shooting star” so bright and last this long. It lasted about 5-8 seconds which to me seemed extremely long. This was abnormal to me which led me to be concerned. I thought an object was on fire and falling from the sky. This also occurred at 0645 hours. Hardly any stars are observable at this time here in Omaha, NE.
