Reports Report 1981cj (Event 1981-2024)

Observer
Name Joshua S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It lasted at least three seconds. It seemed slower and longer lasting than most shooting stars I've seen or even the two bolides I've seen before. As well as largest and brightest I've seen. It turned very bright greenish at the very end of the cycle right when it size expanded.
