Reports Report 1482h (Event 1482-2022)

Observer
Name Declan B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The item was descending in a pattern of a air to ground missile, fired from a relatively shallow angle. It was moving a incredible speed in the direction of the South wirral peninsula / Walesm. It was travelling from a North Western direction from my vantage point. Unlike a standard meteor, i am almost certain this made ground, due to the angle of descent and the fact it disappeared below the Horizon. I have witnessed countless meteors before, but never one on this course and trajectory and with such brightness. Also the duration was considerablylonger than most meteors at between 2 and 5 seconds. Hope this info helps. Kind Regards Dec
