Reports Report 2589b (Event 2589-2022)

Observer
Name Kelsi S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Ive seen a green fireball before and this one was even more astonishing. It was traveling really slow compared to the other one ive seen and lasted about 3 times as long. It was so bright and red in the beginning, it looked like a gigantic firework. It then proceeded to have gold trails behind it and slowing died out.
