Reports Report 5166a (Event 5166-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Stratton W |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There was a jet moving in the same direction a few minutes afterwards, I’m pretty sure it was a jet cuz it looked like it was faster than a regular plane and was going almost exactly where the meteor went, but it was probably just a coincidence. I thought they might be going to incestigste it but since it’s just a meteor they probably weren’t |
