Reports Report 8283bo (Event 8283-2025)

Observer
Name Andrea B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Never seen such an enduring shooting star at this low altitude. Not a regular observer but have seen a few in my time which normally are a quick trailing flash of light much higher in the night sky - less than a second. This was more like 2-3 seconds and much lower in the sky at the time I saw it.
