Reports Report 7328a (Event 7328-2025)

Observer
Name Brent P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The trail was very bright unlike any shooting star I’ve seen before. My previous experience is watching the Perseid shower most summers. This was far brighter, brighter than the crescent moon which it travelled close to in my sight and the streak was quite broad making it appear much closer than others I’ve seen previously.
