Reports Report 1703be (Event 1703-2024)

Observer
Name Kenny C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This one one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen it appeared so close but seemed far and without a sound. It looked like in the movies when the small meteors come into orbit and break up before the big one comes and wipes everyone out lol but also not “lol”, lol.
