| Name | Alex S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | It was a red glowing fireball, visibly burning with a long trail of debris behind it. It moved straight downward and faded out without any sound or explosion. I initially thought it was a firework, but there was no bang and the trajectory was clearly top to bottom. It was absolutely stunning — something I’ve never seen before. |

| Remarks | It had a glowing train that was clearly visible behind the fireball. The trail appeared as red-orange debris, glowing and spreading slightly as it moved. It looked like fragmenting material falling behind the main fireball. The train lasted for the duration of the meteor (about 2–3 seconds) and faded away gradually along with the fireball. There was no lingering smoke trail left in the sky after it disappeared. |
