Reports Report 2921adr (Event 2921-2022)

| Name | Andrew B |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This meteor was seen from inside the house but with window open. The curtains were only partly open, so I'm sure I didn't see the entire display, only the end part. I am a keen astrophotographer and very familiar with the sky when it comes to unusual objects! I have photographed the ISS, it was not that, or indeed and other artificial satellite. It was not an iridium flare either as I have seen those too. 100% meteorite! |
