Reports Report 4188bo (Event 4188-2022)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Shana B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Fist part of fireball did not fade out for the 3-4 seconds. There was NO “BREAK” between that and the larger “second half” white-blue tail into fireball. This “second” fireball, however, looked to have “paused” hot half a second (like it froze in the sky) before moving to burnout. The white-yellow perimeter to white-blue perimeter was stunning enough but to see how long it took and the “pause” was equally stunning. Thought it was a satellite or space debris coming through atm at first. |

One solid event. No separation between each fireball. (Honestly, thought it was a satellite plummeting to earth! Espec the size and how many colors I saw!) |
