Reports Report 2351s (Event 2351-2020)

Observer
Name Barry W
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I just happened to be outside looking for the Musk satellites when I happened to look up and see the small fireball. It was an orange yellow colour and appeared to move considerably slower than shooting stars I've seen before which always seem to be an almost instantaneous streak of light. The tail of the fireball had the appearance of something disintegrating, my first though was that I'd witnessed a small piece of space junk entering the atmosphere.
