Reports Report 6954c (Event 6954-2024)

Observer
Name Amanda B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I did not see a full-on object that left a trail or anything. It caught my eye because it was very bright, much bigger/brighter than any star, and was moving. My first thought was that it was a really close airplane that was moving "wrong," because it looked like the thing was falling down from the sky and there were multiple bright points. The three fragments faded out/burnt up within a second of my noticing it.
