Reports Report 7421fl (Event 7421-2025)

Observer
Name Christina E
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw the orange/red streak, then a short segment with no streak, then it continued and ended. More like a dashed line rather than a solid line. If an average "shooting star" is like a ballpoint pen drawing a line in the sky, this was like a basketball! The angle at which I was observing is complicated because I was driving down the highway and this caught my eye from the right side of the windshield and I turned, looking out over the field and horizon.
