Reports Report 6d (Event 6-2025)

Observer
Name Yaakov S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Not sure how long it was till I took my phone out. Probably at least five ish seconds. Unfortunately I forgot that this website exists for almost a week till I thought to report it so the memory isn’t fresh. But definitely seemed unusually bright and orange and long lasting for a meteorite (meteoroid? Meteor? I can never remember)
