Observer
Name Sam C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I am an avid wild camper and have seen my fair share of shooting stars in places like the Lake District and Peak District however this was like nothing I have seen before. The event was sustained (approx 4 secs) and glowed a bright yellow/white colour. There was no associated noise/ fragmentation however if there is any further knowledge of this event please don't hesitate to contact :)
