Reports Report 8228b (Event 8228-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Julie M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The area of sky in which I saw this was quite cloudy, and I wondered if it appeared brighter to me due to light being refracted through cloud? It was white for most of the time I watched it, then flashing orange as if exploding, just before it disappeared. Time recorded 07.39 as per the clock on my car & matching the time on my phone which is automatically preset. |
