Reports Report 3597a (Event 3597-2026)

Observer
Name Philip H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks At its most visible point it was very wide and if I recall correctly bright blue in the middle and darker on the sides. The shape vaguely resembled that of a stingray from a bottom for lack of a better comparison. A little bigger than the full moon would be.
