Reports Report 5869a (Event 5869-2025)

Observer
Name Dawood D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I am a first-time observer with no formal astronomy background. This was a chance sighting. · The event was extremely fast—a brilliant flash—but the glowing trail that persisted for a fraction of a second was the most remarkable part. · The sky was clear. · There were no known aircraft or artificial lights in that part of the sky that could explain this. · My confidence in the exact direction is moderate. My confidence in the description of its appearance (brightness, color, trail) is high.
