Reports Report 2685be (Event 2685-2026)

Observer
Name Dawn C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have been lucky enough to see one before but this was by far the most amazing thing I have witnessed. I was in awe that much I didn’t have time to get a photo or video. It was extremely bright & looked huge. From my vision (in Chorlton) it looked like it would have landed in Withington or even Burnage. Manchester.
