Reports Report 378ao (Event 378-2025)

Observer
Name K F
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The sky was still fairly light out. The closest comparison to the phenomenon I've seen (even closer than casually observing shooting stars and meteor showers in the past) is a falling firework. But I looked around the sky after the event and did not see anything that looked like other fireworks.
