Reports Report 4582og (Event 4582-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Hayden S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Thought it was a firework at first but it didn't explode like one, and only lasted a few seconds. The angle it was shooting from would also have been impossible to shoot a firework from as there weren't any buildings tall enough for someone to stand on and do so. It was also relatively quiet. I've seen meteor showers and lone meteors before, but none of this color, brightness or size. |
