Reports Report 6055a (Event 6055-2018)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Joel U |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I remember going out in the wheat fields in Washington and seeing Hale Bopp when I lived in the US and this looked far more extreme and bright (obviously a very different event, but just to compare it to something). The date is an estimate, but it was at the beginning of August 2017 or 2018. I was sure I wrote it down somewhere but couldn't find it. |
