Reports Report 1604a (Event 1604-2024)

Observer
Name Anne J
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It appeared higher up and came sloping downward and disappeared past the horizon. Its tail was constant and extremely bright and long. It was a large white ball with red and then the tail. The tail was bright right to the tip. It disappeared from my view unlike shooting stars that just fade away. It was quite amazing but also startling as it was coming down and still very big….approx 3 times the size of the brightest star.
