Reports Report 2232a (Event 2232-2024)

Observer
Name	Taylor W
Experience Level	1/5
Remarks	I looked up and saw what I thought was a shooting star. Then I quickly realized that I’ve seen a shooting star before and it was much smaller than what I saw tonight. After a little research I realized that I saw a meteor. It had a bright orange tail that was a bit wide. It was gone in two seconds from when I saw it in the sky but it could’ve been there longer because it was pretty long when I saw it
