Reports Report 3272a (Event 3272-2026)

Observer
Name Eric N
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I watch the night sky a lot. More than most. Heck, I've seen 100's of satellites fly by, the ISS and Tiangong fly over, and I always seem to be the one explaining to people what they are. "No, that's not a UFO, it's Venus. No, that's not the Big Dipper, that's Orions Belt. Etc."
