Reports Report 9536j (Event 9536-2022)

Observer
Name Matt B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I’ve seen a lot of shooting stars, this was much more substantial and different. There were little to no stars visible at time of sighting. First few stars of night were just starting to come out. Pretty quick moving but slow enough to wonder what it was as it caught my eye and was arcing away from me.
