Reports Report 2746n (Event 2746-2022)

Observer
Name Heather B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was looking for meteors from the eta aquariids when I spotted this. It first appeared just to the south of Saturn as a small streak then the “cloud” around it grew as it moved slowly across the sky northward. It also had a slight dip in its path and then curved back upward before finally disappearing behind the tree line.
