Reports Report 5441rn (Event 5441-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matt H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was by far the most awe inspiring sight I have ever witnessed first hand. I have seen bright white "falling stars" that are very brief but this had a long definitive tail, was blue and bright white, long lasting, and then exploded into reddish pieces. Once in a lifetime experience for sure. |
