Reports Report 4759dt (Event 4759-2024)

Observer
Name Stephen R
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I’ve seen shooting stars but never anything this bright. I’m also extremely familiar with what aircraft look like and this was not an aircraft. It looked like it was most likely intact enough to impact somewhere, as it was still bright and intact after dropping below the tree line and out of my field of view.
