Reports Report 2462a (Event 2462-2024)

Observer
Name Alden L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have no astronomy experience but I'm pretty good with owls. This was accidentally filmed while I was hoping to catch an owlet (her name is Leia, because she branched on May 4th) in her first flight. You can see that Leia is off-center right and I was hoping she was going to jump to the tree on the left. She didn't, but something weird happened in the middle of the field of vision. This was shot pointed sharply upwards and I'm not POSITIVE but I think the fireball is travelling from south to north based on where I was.
