Reports Report 6816a (Event 6816-2025)

Observer
Name Kerrie L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I know this wasn’t a plane with a vapour trail, I’ve been a dedicated sky gazer for over 20 years, the video I sent is a screen recording of three small videos that I took of this object but wanted to get them all into one, but also found the audio with the videos inappropriate to send as there was swearing in majority of them. Thank you for accepting my information. It is greatly appreciated.

But at the time of morning that it was the sun was just rising and I dare say that in the beginning it was more of a silhouette and at the end the sun was prominently shining on it.
