Reports Report 1065s (Event 1065-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bruce G |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have observed "shooting stars" in the Northern sky, but nothing of this magnitude. I was sitting in my back yard when I saw it. At first I thought it might have been a fire work, but it was too big, and was moving horizontal rather than vertical. I did listen for a boom or noise, but there was nothing. I lost it in the tree line on the horizon in our yard but it was very visible for a short duration and I am sure continued further south. |
