Reports Report 2244c (Event 2244-2024)

Observer
Name A E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I did not see when it first started as I was below our back deck, which partially obscures the view of the sky, so I'm not sure exactly how high up it started or how long it had been visible before it came I to my field of view. But it was only visible for maybe 2 or 3 seconds when I saw it, and looked like a very bright ball of white light with a bright red tail.
