| Remarks | Forecasted Solar Weather for several years, observed many asteroids/ meteors travelling by viewing solar observing equipment such as Nasa's SDO or the SOHO observatory. This was definitely one, spectacular but short lived sight. Spotted over Kansas ( hard to tell how high up it would've been) on KS-148 heading south towards Barnes from a moving vehicle in the drivers seat. |
