Reports Report 7229l (Event 7229-2024)

Observer
Name Catherine M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks We were just walking home from the supermarket and it suddenly just came from behind us and shot past us to our left. I’d thought it was a firework at first as it was so bright green with trailing gold but my partner thought it looked like a fireball as he’d once seen one a long time ago. It was very vibrant but then just burnt out as quickly as it appeared.
