Reports Report 3283bg (Event 3283-2023)

Observer
Name Claudine M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It felt close to us. Not like the regular “shooting stars” we see afar sometimes. Initially, I thought it was a firework beaming as it was so big and close, but then the trajectory and how fast it was quickly made me realize this was not fireworks. It was quite a sight.
