Reports Report 405bl (Event 405-2020)

Observer
Name Constantinos P
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The thing left a flame trail which was visible for some seconds 2-3 and the trail wasnt straight at least from my point of view. It wasnt like a falling star but rather like a slow velocity lighting strike which changes angles while touching down but the trail was like caught on fire for 2 to 3 secs.
