Reports Report 1406c (Event 1406-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael C |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The first I saw was a bright white light directly overhead which grew rapidly brighter, flickering as it did and casting shadows off nearby trees. The eastern horizon it disappeared over is about 300 metres above sea level and there's nothing but a wilderness of moorland and mountains for 60 miles. The bang I heard didn't sound like distant thunder and I would guesstimate that if the orange sparky last view of it was fragmentation then it would have been between 20 and 40 miles away, approximately. Have to say it was an awesome experience! |
