Reports Report 7286d (Event 7286-2023)

Observer
Name Don O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Amazing sight. Seemed closer than I’d ever seen. So close that when it burned out, I waited for a crash or explosion. Long tail, circular head and looked blackish except rearward light into the tail. Have never seen a shooting star this large. Very impressive for about 3-4 seconds. Outside with my dog and always looking at the sky.
