Reports Report 294be (Event 294-2025)

Observer
Name Marion G
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks The travel was northward directly ahead of me starting at about 18-20 degrees and dropping to 14-16 degrees. It was tapered with a brief bright tail and colorful flash at the fatter end towards the destination it seemed very low and close, but noticed no sound whatsoever. It was very bright. Amazing- wish I had more knowledge and could have photographed - unlike anything I have seen- so much bigger than when you see the perseids in the late summer- this was so much brighter/fatter… perhaps because of the low angle? So interested to know what I saw Thank you for considering this entry.
