Reports Report 4628bk (Event 4628-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andre R |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Observed the fireball while inside PureGym on the first floor, facing west. The object appeared extremely bright, bright enough to catch my attention even though my back was turned against the window. I turned around and saw it moving diagonally from top right to bottom left, with a fast and intense descent. Visible trail persisted for several minutes and appeared zigzagged, possibly due to spin or atmospheric turbulence. I captured a photo of the smoke trail at approximately 21:20. I initially heard a faint whistling sound, though I was wearing AirPods, so it’s unclear whether it was related to the fireball. Object appeared very fast, visible for about a second and seemed to descend steeply. The flash was very bright. |
