Reports Report 6108i (Event 6108-2024)

Observer
Name Melinda K
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It appeared to be still fully burning with no sign of diminishing or breaking when it left my vantage point which was very close to the horizon. I have witnessed a few of these now and this was by far the closest one that I have observed. Perhaps because Orion had not yet began to rise.
