Reports Report 1787cd (Event 1787-2021)

Observer
Name Sierra S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was like a slow shooting star that popped and burned really bright. Definitely different than anything I've seen before. I was curious if it was a SpaceX thing because it was so weird, but Fireball sounds like the right catagory.
