Reports Report 8120e (Event 8120-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robert D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The object was much wider and brighter than any classic "shooting star" I've seen. That, and the angle (almost straight down) made me think it was closer and heading directly toward the ground. Drawing the trajectory in my imagination, it was slightly south of Fort Saskatchewan if I were drawing a straight line along its path. |
