Reports Report 5195l (Event 5195-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mark T |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | While the fireball only appeared for a few seconds, the white fragment lasted perhaps 30 seconds or more. Long enough for me to run and get my phone from inside the house and still capture 5 or six pictures. The entire event from fireball to white object extinction was maybe a minute or more. |
