Reports Report 2983bj (Event 2983-2025)

Observer
Name Caroline K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Sky was still light so this object seemed astoundingly bright -also seemed to be in very close proximity. Trajectory and appearance were NOT that of a firework, but it was much closer looking than I would have imagined a “shooting star.”
