Reports Report 949a (Event 949-2025)

Observer
Name Camesha W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I only saw it for about 3 seconds before it disappeared. I live near an airport, but I know it wasn’t a plane or jet. It caught my eye because it was a super bright ball with a tail moving very quickly. It disappeared before my view was blocked by the houses behind me.
