Reports Report 4939m (Event 4939-2026)

| Name | Phil A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen a lot of shooting stars with tails, whilst working outdoors on nights over the decades, this was much larger than anything I have ever seen, round extremely bright no tail, it came down fast at quite a sharp angle not across the sky. It was also the most impressive one I’ve ever seen. I was heading eastbound towards Leeds from Manchester around 70mph so not familiar with location but noted it was before junction 15. It was seen by myself and wife. I forgot to note exact time but checking my route on life360 app it appeared to be around 2345hrs. Hope this helps! |
