Reports Report 3286i (Event 3286-2025)

Observer
Name David K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It didnt appear to me to look anything like a shooting star in size nor color(s). It was a huge intense red ball surrounded by yellow/orange and had a long bright tail/trail following it. It looked as if it were coming down to Earth's surface as opposed to an object that travels "across the sky". I'm 44 and I've never seen anything like it in person. It was amazinggggg and being on a lone walk... it felt as if I was the only person to get to see it. Very special it was!
