| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Since this is my first time seeing this kind of event, I might mix up the order of the colors. However, I clearly remember that the green color was the brightest and lasted the longest. This event has truly ignited my passion to become an astrophysicist, and I hope to be among our planet's best astrophysicists one day! |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I witnessed a remarkably bright fireball that appeared suddenly. The object featured a prominent green glow extending from the head into the start of the tail. Near the head, distinct flashes of orange and red were visible. A white, jet-smoke-like trail followed behind it. The object moved with high velocity, similar to a missile trajectory, and ended in a sudden, intense terminal flash, vanishing into a single white point of light before disappearing completely. The entire event was brief, lasting well under 10 seconds.Observed while tracking Venus and Jupiter after they had set. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | On it's back of white tail there was a white fragment smoke. |
