Reports Report 1087p (Event 1087-2025)

Observer
Name Andrea K
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was spectacular, first appeared bright white and falling with a nice trailing tail for several seconds and then as it got really low in the horizon it suddenly became a large teardrop shaped as it burst into a glowing yellow-red-orange enlarged aura around the outside of the teardrop shape before it disappeared. Breathtaking!
