Reports Report 7508j (Event 7508-2024)

| Name | William H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was moving a bit slower than most meteors/fireballs I have seen. Similar to how I would describe the speed of the ISS when making close, highly visible passes. There is a possibility that this was some kind of other debris making re-entry into the atmosphere. With the many SpaceX launches/re-entries, as well as any others I am not aware of, I would not want to mislead others into this being a fireball when in fact it was something else. But it does not match any of the other possible items listed on the site. |
