Reports Report 4465a (Event 4465-2025)

Observer
Name Elena M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This stood out from the other shooting stars we have seen tonight and nights before. Other shooting stars are just a small ray while this one was large, much brighter, and caught the attention of all three of us observers. It had a tail that almost looked like sparkly gold and almost looked like what the perfect shooting star you could imagine would look like.
