Reports Report 1436f (Event 1436-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Daniel H |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I got a really good look at it, despite the trees in my yard. It was slower than a typical shooting star, clearly breaking up. If it wasn't a meteor maybe some space junk? Either way, it was very cool to witness. The duration surprised me, it moved quickly but maybe took 6 seconds to cross my field of view before losing it behind some trees I can't see beyond. The head of it was bright green, and the tail/fragmentation was green and yellow with a light greenish-blue halo/edge. |
