Reports Report 9271d (Event 9271-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Amy H |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I've never seen anything like this; it felt like it was so viscerally close, a fiery ball passing right over my head and then flaming out over L.I. Sound, as opposed to distant shooting stars that I've seen on rare occasion. There were a couple blinking airplanes above in the night sky (I'm across L.I. Sound from LaGuardia Airport), and they appeared tiny and far away compared to this. Re any sound: I had my headphones on listening to a book so not aware if there was possibly any distant background sound(s), though I would have easily heard any loud noises, which I didn't. |
