| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lauren S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen multiple times the starlink satellites and shooting stars many different aircraft drones jets etc I live up in Placerville California and travel up to volcanoville and forest hill areas and grew up in auburn California so I am familiar with our stars satellites and aircraft but I have never seen anything to this magnitude and this close as if it were right in front of me heading straight for Intel college. Which they have amazing drone light shows and they are the reason I discovered them. But this was different than anything I have ever seen. |
