| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Bob V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Amazing! There were 3 objects appearing to me as bolides. They were spaced about 60 sec apart. All from NE to SW. The odd thing is that they initially had a high angular velocity, but as the reached a zenith above me, the angular velocity slowed until they were motionless. Then they burned out. There was no trail of flames or smoke. It was like a giant sparkler. |
