Reports Report 1225aj (Event 1225-2024)

Observer
Name Shane B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The color was half way between orange and the yellow. It looked remarkably like a welding drip in color. The ball was also odd in that it looked very viscous like molten metal does and not like the usual smudgy flares of light like most meteors i see. Also it was about 3/8 inch at arms length in diameter before it winked out abruptly.
