| Observer | |

| Name | Rick W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | It sounds crazy, but this was like nothing that I have seen before. I have photographed meteor showers for years. This was slower than a meteor, but faster than any jet. Light was steady, which was odd. I saw a Chinese booster re-enter a few years back. This was faster, but did not fragment and no sonic boom. I honestly have no idea what it was. Happy to hear back! |
