Reports Report 3525fs (Event 3525-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Lee W |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I felt the object came in really fast but slowed down. Usually if I see a meteor or shooting star it comes in quickly and fades out at the same speed, but this one appeared to slow down as it lit up. I've never seen a flash before, and I've never seen it brake up before. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Didn't see it that clearly because it was the flash that caught my attention initially, but there was a big white flash followed by two or three successive white flashes (not as bright as the first possibly) |
| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | The fireball spit into two, which I've never ever seen before, and then it looked as though it may have broken into smaller pieces at the end, but I don't recall any specifics about the ensing, I'm just fairly sure that's what I saw at the time. |
