Reports Report 7262a (Event 7262-2022)

Observer
Name Jerry K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It had a very bright sudden start that almost went to the horizon. Very bright blueish sparkling light! I was driving so I don't know if it made a sound. Love watching meteor showers when I can. This was by far the brightest and best one I've ever seen! Wish I had a dash camera that could have recovered it!
