Reports Report 7315de (Event 7315-2022)

Observer
Name Joe T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks My initial reaction was that I' didn't see a falling star. I saw a bright yellow meteor with a long golden tail that lasted just over second falling down in an angle like the hour hand is at 7 o'clock. I felt like it looked like a bright sun if but for a moment. It actually reminded me of the Phoenix Sun's NBA logo. Seriously!
