Reports Report 10253c (Event 10253-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Tim G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in my car driving, with windows rolled up and radio on, perhaps preventing me from hearing anything. It was already night time at my location, and cloudy, with only a few stars visible. This object was far brighter than the other starts, almost as bright as the streetlights. It is also possible that this was a firework, but I doubt it. |
