Reports Report 6106af (Event 6106-2024)

Observer
Name Jen R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was at Epcot center and it was extremely crowded. There were quite a few people around me who saw it (including my family). We all stopped and waited to see if it would happen again. I heard there was a visible comet tonight so I thought it might be that, but it was so bright that it couldn't have been. It really looked like something out of a movie.
