Reports Report 7698b (Event 7698-2023)

Observer
Name Marlena P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Much brighter and lasted much longer than a regular shooting star. It was "falling" quickly and had an orange-ish tail. My husband was able to get my attention and point it out in time for me to still see it. We lost sight of it over our rooftop but it did seem to be fading out in brightness as it neared the horizon
