Reports Report 2983bh (Event 2983-2025)

Observer
Name Ashley T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks It was very bright. Seemed low in the sky. Lasted a brief second. It was there, and then vanished. It was crashing to earth, but it seemed to disappear in the sky and didn’t finish on the projected path. It had a tail behind it, but that vanished immediately as well. I was driving up to a traffic light and saw it in the sky, when I was looking up at the light. I’ve never seen this before. Cool, but very brief experience
