Reports Report 98i (Event 98-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andrew R |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | There was a point at which the entire light trail had burnt out/ stopped, but I could still see the actual glowing "head" or meteor glowing red moving through the sky. This of course dissipated as the meteor cooled. Duration of this could only have been 0.5 secs or less, but it was very distinct orange in colour. |
