Reports Report 6902s (Event 6902-2023)
| Observer | |

| Name | Amber D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I thought it might be part of a meteor shower at first but the more I thought about it, this object seemed a lot closer to me and lower in the sky. The color was also brighter and I could see it burning even if briefly. As soon as I saw it burning up it fizzled out. I was driving a car so I couldn't stop and observe it properly, I just happened to see it when coming into a clearing. |
