Reports Report 4439j (Event 4439-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ritt U |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | Beautiful, gradually diminishing white & blue, approximate duration 6 to 7 seconds, traveling nearly horizontal from my perspective. No sparks, etc observed but possibly a brief non-glowing trail (like dust) but it may have been a trick of the light because it was so bright and large. Definitely appeared to terminate in the atmosphere. The slowest moving meteor I have observed (from my perspective of course); the relatively narrow sector it traversed still required minimum 6 seconds. |
