Reports Report 5298c (Event 5298-2019)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Kennedy F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I don’t know what it was or how to describe it. Trying to figure that out is what lead me to this report. It looked like a giant shooting star, but I know that shooting stars aren’t that big. It was very bright, and sparkled behind it. It was comparable to the size of a full moon, or maybe a basketball. I just happened to get out of my car and look up to catch a glimpse of it. By the time I even realized I had seen anything, it was gone. |
