Reports Report 5144f (Event 5144-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Giacomo L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was ready for the Geminids meteor shower, which I have seen a few hours later, and which consisted of very frequent shooting stars in the Gemini-Orion region (mainly white, blue, and green, and lasting no more than a second). This event, which I was able to capture in the video, was very different: long lasting and going far, no bangs nor sound, and it really didn't look like a firework. I had enough time to pull out the phone and activate the videocamera. Beautiful!!! |
