Reports Report 6533ak (Event 6533-2022)
| Observer | |

| Name | Joshua S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Longest meteor I’ve seen in a long time. Arced about 10 degrees from start to finish. Felt quite close to my location. I would guess if anything managed to hit ground, it’s around northern Almaville or west Smyrna, Tennessee. Mostly white with a lot of green light and a bit of blue near the beginning. More than 3 seconds total duration. Almost straight vertical at the end. |
