Reports Report 5235a (Event 5235-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lisa C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have seen shooting stars before, and some meteor showers. They have always appeared more of a white color and seemed very far away (smaller), and moved slower. This was bright orange, and larger, or perhaps closer, and faster moving than anything I've ever seen previously. |
