Reports Report 1703bp (Event 1703-2024)

Observer
Name Drew W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This was slow moving, unlike anything I’ve seen in my life. My wife and son were in the room cause he woke us after waking cause of a noise in his room. The object was moving south to north while I was facing east. It was a life altering experience…though we were going to die. Not your typical shooting star.
