Reports Report 1469h (Event 1469-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | David S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | This is the second one I saw in the last two months. I'd seen shooting stars before but both of these were much larger and looked like they were very close. The other one, I noticed someone else had observed it from further east, and this one tonight was apparently reported from further South and looking at it from the opposite direction (looking back toward me.) Makes me think it must have burned up between here and Wichita. |
