Reports Report 2438c (Event 2438-2014)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ashley A |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Lots of light pollution here and tree cover, but if there was a visible tail it was very dim. This object had the "personality" of both a sky lantern soaring and a slow meteor. Its brightness (like magnesium), speed, and size remained constant. It was larger than any meteor or star I've ever seen, except for the sun of course. |
