Reports Report 417ad (Event 417-2026)

Observer
Name Kayla D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I’ve seen many shooting stars up in the mountains and this was really different- unlike anything I’ve seen before. It had a distinct trail behind it which remained consistent and it was obstructed by near by houses as it fell lower in the horizon.
