Reports Report 6425rm (Event 6425-2020)

Observer
Name Ron B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Probably one of the most stunning things I’ve ever seen… My jaw was literally agape the entire time and for sometime after. The size of the object was larger than anything I’ve ever seen… it burned with beautiful colors for a sustained duration before disappearing from view. I would swear it was a quarter of the size of the visible moon. What a wonderful experience. 🙏🏼
