| Name | Eli H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I have a quick question for whomever answers these types of things, it was still quite bright when I first saw it. I was walking and there was a small flash which caught my eye, I looked up and I saw something moving very fast with a trail, and then it slowed down towards the speed of the ISS or a SpaceX sattelite, and then it sped up really fast (possibly 4x speed of a starlink sattelite) with a trail and it disappeared with a very small flash. Would this be classed as a fireball or something else? |
