Reports Report 1486c (Event 1486-2023)
| Observer | |

| Name | Holly H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I'm not positive about the exact location or time, but I drove through Pennsylvania between 9pm and 10pm on I-90 heading East. I gave my best approximation. At first, I thought it was a shooting star, but it seemed to last longer. I noticed it was red and I started to fear an airplane may be going down, but then it flickered and burnt out before the horizon. It had a trail, but I don't believe a lingering one. |
