Reports Report 4454a (Event 4454-2025)

Observer
Name Ryan B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Absolutely not a plane , no green or red flashing lights, checked flight radars/ tracking websites and nothing was above at the time. Way too long to be a shooting star and not bright enough. It was literally like a star with a tail and dust coming out the back moving at a constant speed across the sky. Never seen anything like it before. Video taken with an iPhone 15pro in my garden
