Reports Report 4666d (Event 4666-2024)

Observer
Name Emily S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was very surprised to see this flash! It was dusk, but the streak was so bright that I thought it must have been a plane—but it was moving FAR too fast. And it was nowhere near any of the known flight paths in my area. Very long tail; longer than my hand at arms length. Beautiful.
