Reports Report 23pd (Event 23-2023)

Observer
Name Ian G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was the chunkiest shooting star I’ve ever seen, I’ve seen many of them but this one was so large I googled to see if others had seen it and sure enough there was news stories about it. It honestly looked like a pretty large object kicking off wide fire trail.
