Reports Report 5883f (Event 5883-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jackie S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was looking up at the northern lights display approx 10:15pm EST , and the “shooting star” appeared right overhead. It was moving south to north. I only saw it (and the trail) for about a second (just long enough for me to gasp excitedly) before it disappeared completely. It was notably visually larger, and I think slower, than any I’ve seen before. |
