Reports Report 9412d (Event 9412-2021)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jonathan E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am a pilot that lives adjacent to KOSH. I looked out my window and initially thought the meteor was the landing light of an airplane on final approach to RWY 36 until it spilt into two and clearly had a different trajectory. Had enough time to observe, identify, and track the the object before I lose sight, so probably about 3.5 sec in duration. Fairly flat trajectory and relatively bright. |
