Reports Report 7833y (Event 7833-2021)

Observer
Name Matthew N
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks What I observed was much larger than any shooting star I have ever seen and much longer. The color was also something I’ve never seen before. The blue line with a brighter center seemed to cross the sky slower than a shooting star before turning bright orange/red and disappearing.
