Reports Report 7478cs (Event 7478-2023)

| Name | Nick B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Surprisingly slow moving (for a meteor) but clearly an object burning on atmospheric entry, very little if any tail. I listened for any concussive sounds but there were none. My observation ended when it dipped below the tree line, so if this object survived to earth impact I wouldn't be surprised. Given its slow motion its possible this was human orbital debris as opposed to a space rock. |
