Reports Report 6159m (Event 6159-2022)

Observer
Name Doug S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I've seen a few meteorites over the years both in the UK and South Australia but this was the brightest by far easily as bright as any star. In addition living near an airport most of my life i know what an aircraft looks like at night and it 100% was not an aircraft. It was heading eastbound (almost directly overhead as i had to crane my neck to see it) from Eastleigh.
