Observer
Name Scott E
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Me, my son, and his friend were on the deck of our beach house overlooking the ocean talking about the first time we saw starlink when we saw this (a fireball I’m assuming) appear. I’m 49 and I’ve never seen anything like this before. I caught the last few seconds on video.
