Reports Report 6109ju (Event 6109-2022)

Observer
Name Stuart T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It disappeared behind a building hence can’t say how it ended. I’ve seen plenty of shooting stars in showers before but never anything as bright, large with such a visible tail or indeed descending in such a vertical manner hence found your website as thought it would be worthy of comment
