Reports Report 5783s (Event 5783-2023)

Observer
Name Jeremiah R
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I have observed meteor showers and shooting stars mamy times, sometimes from locations which are dark sky sites. This event took place in a fairly bright street-lit roadscape of a busing small city, but the intensity and size of the prolonged flash was incredibly striking amd unusual.
