Reports Report 1959fq (Event 1959-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robin M |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Description: I saw a bright white object with a slight yellow tint moving quickly across the sky at a downward angle. It had a small, fiery trail that disappeared instantly. The brightness was similar to a sparkler. Just before it went out, it flashed bright white and then vanished completely. I did not see any fragmentation after the flare. I did not hear any sound, but I was inside my vehicle with the windows closed. Other notes: No smoke trail, no lingering glow, and no visible pieces after the flare |
