Reports Report 5351d (Event 5351-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Michael M |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | When I first spotted the bolide, it was through the leaves of a large tree. I then walked quickly to an adjacent field where I had an unobstructed view of the object. Just as I readied my phone's camera to film the bolide, it faded from sight. It was definitely something I have never seen before! |
