Reports Report 973n (Event 973-2024)

Observer
Name Nicholas M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was big, and just burning up - maybe between 1/4 & 1/2 the size that the moon appears, the glow/flames were not uniform , but patchy/flary. I stepped outside, and something caught my eye, almost behind me(!), so I turned around just in time to see it disintegrate in flames in a split second, near the height of a nearby tree. It was beautiful and amazing; and silent.
