Reports Report 10076m (Event 10076-2025)

Observer
Name Charlotte R
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have seen loads of shooting stars before. I recently went away to the Northumberland area during the Perseid shower this October and saw some really big ones there and I’ve also observed the Perseids from my garden in WN6 Wigan, especially from Parbold Hill. However this was like nothing I have ever seen, the colours were so vivid and it was at least 2-3 bigger than any I’ve ever seen before it was huge and after it burnt it left a huge line in the sky like what an airplane does when they fly overhead. After this we could see absolutely loads of small shooting stars but they were really tiny and we saw no others this big except this one.
