Reports Report 5608a (Event 5608-2024)
| Observer | |

| Name | David Q |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a lot of meteors/shooting stars and I've never seen anything like this, I would often go out to see meteor showers when I know they are due, the speed that it moved at gave me a bit of a fright and I could feel my heart racing because at first I thought it was something flying but the speed was outrageous and then it fizzled out about half way across the sky from my point of view, I have never reported anything like this before but this was like nothing I have seen so I went looking to see was there any reports of anyone else seeing it and found this website so I just thought I'd report it, I would be interested in hearing if you know about it or if anyone else saw/reported it, thanks |
