Reports Report 2215b (Event 2215-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mike L |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | A very unusual object. Not a meteor, it came from a different direction than typical Vandenburg rocket launches, well north of the base and heading in a basically easterly direction, almost overhead of us. Particularly odd thing, it had some associated smaller point-like object(s) which rapidly zig-zag around the main object, and heading in the opposite direction, to the west! UFO? |
