Reports Report 1325b (Event 1325-2023)

Observer
Name Mat C
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I'm pretty sure what I saw was some kind of object falling from space. I don't think it was an airplane or a reflection in my glasses. It was quite a clear light/streak. I don't think it was an airplane because it was moving too fast and at a 45 degree angle to the ground. I'm not sure if it continued past where I reported it to end because of terrain and houses obstructing my view to the Earth's horizon.
