Reports Report 5919i (Event 5919-2022)

Observer
Name Beverley P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We thought it was a shooting star and said it must be a meteor as it was quite low down and not high in the sky like shooting stars . It disappeared behind a cloud and we half expected it to re emerge on other side . Amazing to see . It just felt different. It was extremely bright and bigger than a shooting star.
