Reports Report 6327b (Event 6327-2024)

Observer
Name James C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Basically, I stepped outside, looked up at a bright star that was twinkling very brightly thought maybe there was a haze in the sky and as I started to look down when I got to about the 45° I saw that off in the distance and I was like what the heck luckily I had my phone in my hand and I was quick enough to Get to the camera and start recording to get what I got . When I first spotted it, it was super bright and just look like Sparks flying behind, leaving a trail, white sparks kind of reminiscent of sparks that come from a lighter, but like I said it was all white. When you zoom into my video, you can see the head of whatever it is getting smaller, but the tail is still going, and then it faded out. I don’t know if I lost view of it. If it turned out of my view, it was the craziest thing I’ve ever seen up in the sky. Sadly enough, it reminded me when I was younger witnessing of the space shuttles re-entering the atmosphere, but it didn’t break apart like that.
