| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Ivan R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | At first I thought it was a missile attack because of the speed across the sky, the duration it stayed lit, and they way it looked clustered (maybe even more than 4-5 individual fragments in the cluster). This was by far the biggest and brightest event in the sky I have ever seen. |
