Reports Report 221l (Event 221-2025)

Observer
Name Kristin B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks This was quite different from a "shooting star" I normally see in the sky. It was much lower, the trail was shorter, it was at an angle going down from east to west and had a big, bright, white explosion at the end before disappearing.
