Reports Report 4202o (Event 4202-2026)

Observer
Name M.C. F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Extremely long track and fast: from nearly straight up all the way to the southern horizon. It had a comet like tail from a dispersed, burning core. Not as fast as previous fireballs that I have seen, but faster than, and different from a Vanderburg AFB launch that I saw. My dumb phone cannot upload the THREE photos that I took. Three photos, now that is a long track!
