Reports Report 8611a (Event 8611-2022)

Observer
Name Sergio D
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It may have been man-made as opposed to purely meteor. The fragmentation was the key; wasn't anything I've seen before in typical meteor sightings. (I own and use 3 Celestron C8s for more than 40 yrs. Also, saw a satellite going south about 20 mins prior. Very high altitude. Not near meteor like object I'm reporting now.
