Reports Report 789t (Event 789-2026)

Observer
Name Kate H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I live in the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains. The experience was very fast. It was looking directly up at the sky from my porch at Orion while taking my dog out and I saw movement to my right. It was only 2-3 seconds. Not sure if this helps. Hope it does.
