Reports Report 10482a (Event 10482-2025)

Observer
Name John H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks This fireball was quite big, and the tail was also very big, with the tail itself visually spanning roughly six times the diameter of the moon as seen from earth from front to back, and about a fourth of that length from top to bottom at its largest point, and the fireball itself was large enough to not have a good comparison, but the diameter was roughly(not exactly, for sure) 1/8 the length of the tail from top to bottom.
