Reports Report 1326a (Event 1326-2025)

Observer
Name Jim B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was likely the longest duration, and most distinct meteor that I’ve seen in my 59 years. Not to make it extraordinary, but most meteors that I’ve seen are very brief, much less bright, and very short lived.
