Reports Report 3189a (Event 3189-2022)

Observer
Name Scott H
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks At first I thought it was a large drone ..but it was fully orange round globe of light ..and silent.. gave appearance of closeness.. and had no collision lighting as it past..speed appeared to be that of a single eng. Plane.. but after a couple seconds I realized it may be a long duration meteor out at distance. It kind of dimmed out and very may well have disintegrated with very loose patterned debris as glow stopped..
