Reports Report 406cb (Event 406-2023)

Observer
Name Hugh M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was walking my dog in a remote field 70m ASL (Yeaton, Shropshire) and had been looking at the sky. Clear sky at dawn. I happened to look exactly at where it started. I was so amazed by it I sent a Tweet asking others if they saw it @hughmainwaring - lots did and replied. And finally I recorded a voice recording of my sighting as it was amazing. I enjoy looking at the night sky as I live in a dark sky area. Now. Realise it was a lucky event to witness. Hugh
