Reports Report 6589a (Event 6589-2025)

Observer
Name Chris C
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was truly amazed at what I saw. I have never seen anything like this before. At first I thought it was a shooting star, as I’ve seen before, but it was so much closer and continued horizontally across the sky for so much longer, with a clear fireball like look to it.
