Reports Report 4556c (Event 4556-2025)

Observer
Name	Chris W
Experience Level	2/5
Remarks	I was sitting on my balcony and happened to look up right at the perfect time. Thought it was a plane, but saw it was moving super fast and at an angle. Realized it was a shooting star and after about 3 seconds it dissipated! I was facing due north and the shooting star was traveling north away from me. It felt like a special moment!
