Reports Report 2215f (Event 2215-2024)

| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | This is the same as 2215-2024. This strange object moved too slow to be a meteor, didn't leave a vapor or exhaust trail, no blinking lights. Maybe an asteroid? It's speed seem to increase as it moved in a strait line from west to east. It appeared to have a dense haze slightly changing colors surrounding a round or oval white center. The dense haze also appeared to be moving perhaps in a figure 8 pattern around the center. From my vantage point it faded out in a few seconds while passing the north star similar to a satellite going into earths shadow. |
