Reports Report 613a (Event 613-2021)

Observer
Name Alex E
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It appeared very low, at first I thought it was a plane crash landing with an engine fire, the flame/ trail was only visible for a couple of seconds and silent so realised it couldn’t be a plane. I realised it must be a meteor. Amazed at the size of the blue trail which changed to “flame” red at the tail end before disappearing. A very special experience.
