Reports Report 1526h (Event 1526-2022)

Observer
Name Lisa E
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I was out photographing the moon/ Milky Way. It was amazingly clear. From where I was I noticed the meteor about at Orion’s Belt. It moved slow, I was in awe. I followed it with eyes and it ended “over” the middle school. It was still high enough that I saw it burn up. Then there was nothing. There was no time to grab camera to capture it.
