Observer
Name Rene L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw it together with my son, clearly visible for 2-3 secs (subjective), almost horizontal trajectory before disappearing. Much larger than any star, almost “fist size” (projected), smaller than the visible and bright noon, definitely no airplane or helicopter, it had a clear trail beyond the fireball or meteor with bright orange-yellow color
