Reports Report 2172z (Event 2172-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Samuel E |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I am from a rural area where light pollution is low and this area is more prominent, the fact that I saw it for 4-6 seconds so bright felt worth reporting. The streak was as thick and long as a dollar coin held on the thin side at arms length. I had earbuds in and am by the highway so I am unsure about sounds, check the forms out there/prices fork area for reports |
