Reports Report 7440hf (Event 7440-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Cassidy J |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It appeared to be extraordinarily close -- although I knew it to be a meteor incredibly distant, my eyes told me it "landed" within a few hundred yards away and flared out a few hundred feet up. Obviously not accurate, but extremely deceiving in appearance. |
