Name | Brian G |
Experience Level | 4/5 |
Remarks | I have seen a lot of meteorological phenomena from shooting stars to satellites to the ISS and Starlink and whatnot….but this I’d never seen this before, no fragmentation, quite slow; bright as Jupiter shining -4 just to the south. Extended across the ENTIRE visible sky disappearing to the south east horizon. Smoke traill across whole sky. No sound. Just consistent….with mo variation. |
