Reports Report 4202ai (Event 4202-2026)

Observer
Name Fernando H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was awesome! I came home late from studying and called my girlfriend to come help me grabs some sodas I brought from my cousins house and she grabbed the sodas and looked up and said “ Baby Baby Baby! Look!”and as I looked it was slow, big, steady and sparkling with beautiful golden fragments breaking off of it and trailing behind. I scrambled for my phone for 2 seconds but would rather not have missed it. It lasted 30-45 seconds. I was facing North and it travelled south from right to left. Too bad I didn’t have a video or photo but if you check NASA the time stamp should be from the sierra foothills to Madera and Fresno California. We were in absolute awe! Thank you!
