Reports Report 5133bf (Event 5133-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jarod B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The train disappeared (I’m assuming because it had fully entered the atmosphere) and the object changed color to an orange-reddish color. It continued out of sight over the horizon. The train lingered for a moment, gradually dissipating. When it was seconds away from being out of sight, I saw a small “shooting star” fall straight down and to the left (slightly northeast) of it. |
