Reports Report 318a (Event 318-2025)

Observer
Name Jeffrey C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It was really fast. I looked up saw a white streak. It was almost on a level plane (or from my point of view) and had a white streak to it. The light from the streak was fast. I know what satellites looks like, space launches and meteor showers. This was definitely a meteor. Great way to start the day
