Reports Report 395ai (Event 395-2016)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Petra M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a few shooting stars in my life, but this one was by far the most impressive. It appeared extremely close to me and to the ground. Previous observations all just were very brief lines arcing down and disappearing, this one was a clear drop-shaped, or bullet-shaped ball with different colors. Very impressive. And it was in the middle of a city, not out in the countryside. |
