Reports Report 2257b (Event 2257-2026)

Observer
Name Damian B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have no experience with this, I have never seen really anything in the sky before. It was fast, bright white and it looked almost as if it dipped down and then went “back up”. I say that because it was only visible for a short second before it disappeared like nothing happened. It then immediately vanished, it didn’t have a tail. It was just a ball of white, it seemed faster than anything I’ve witnessed before.
