Reports Report 7882r (Event 7882-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Matthew C |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I first saw it out of the corner of my eye and thought it was an airplane before I finally looked directly at it. It was moving VERY fast, but not so fast that I couldn't track for what felt like a long time, but in reality was probably no more than 5 seconds. It was very BRIGHT (white), big, had a long tail that had bits breaking away from it. |
