| Remarks | A long, slow moving fireball made its way from West to East north of Kinzua Point from approximately 9:44 to 9:46 pm on 8/29/2022. The orange glow is light pollution. The line of white and red dots is a passing aircraft. The fireball, likely part of the Perseid Meteor Shower, took approximately 2 minutes to cross the sky before disappearing above the hill to the east of the river. Small streams and swirls of green and a green glow to the north and northeast represent the faint glow of an aurora borealis that was just barely visible with the naked in Northern Pennsylvania due to a cannibalizing coronal mass ejection event where one CME that left the sun on 8/15/2022 overtook one that left the sun on 8/14/2022, causing a geomagnetic storm. Taken on a 13 second timer, 28 mm Nikkor lens at F1.8, ISO 1000, Nikon D5600 camera. The fireball looked like a bright white bar moving across the sky. It was initially joined by two smaller meteorites that didn't last long. |

| Color | Light Blue, Red, White: It looked like a bright white bar going across the sky with a pointy bluish head and red on the edges. The end of the tail was not as solid as the rest of the bar. The bar looked as long as my thumb -- way longer than anything else |
