Reports Report 6747c (Event 6747-2025)

Observer
Name Amanda R
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks This was the most incredible thing I've ever seen fly across the sky. I saw this bright object coming from the west, had time to get up from my chair stand up to observe it going overhead almost like it was going to hit the moon, in east. Midway through the sky it had broken into three other pieces, then diminished shortly after. My boyfriend and I were totally blown away. All I can keep saying is I've never seen anything like that before in my life.
