Reports Report 677w (Event 677-2025)

Observer
Name Matt R
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I have seen “shooting stars” before during meteor showers but this seemed a lot closer, more colorful, and visible longer. I wasn’t looking for it, until it came into my view so it could’ve been visible in the sky for longer than the few seconds I saw it before it burned up and disappeared.
