Reports Report 6153ky (Event 6153-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Craig A |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Reported this to a local tv station tip line within a few minutes, but saw no mention in 24 hours. Outside of the periodic shows which we can barely see, this would be our first prominent meteor. Weather was partly cloudy, and it was moving faster than a jet above the cloud cover. Could have been easily missed by others. We have seen the ISS, so we know what that looks like. |
