Reports Report 4063cf (Event 4063-2021)

Observer
Name Laurent A
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Never seen one like this among the 1000's I've watched... Happened 3 minutes before the Alaska 8.5 earthquake... I would look into a possible correlation between the hypersonic shockwave from the object and the seismic activity triggered as a result... It's trajectory was headed right towards the earthquake ..
