Reports Report 1608a (Event 1608-2022)

Observer
Name Shannon K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The aqua color was insanely beautiful!! I've only seen "white" meteors up til now. It looked like a "shooting" star in that it appeared to "fall" straight down versus the meteors I've seen in past which often appear to go "across" the sky. The time is extremely approximate only- I meant to note the time then forgot to!
