Reports Report 2557h (Event 2557-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Dave C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Significant; much brighter than surrounding stars, appearing to "enter the atmosphere" with a distinct plasma trail. I'm sorry if this isn't the correct place for this information, but I wasn't sure where to report it. I believe it may have been the break up of Cosmos 1908 (NORAD ID: 18748). But I think it may have pinged on some of your cameras in any case, I hope it's useful intel. |
