Reports Report 1785au (Event 1785-2025)

Observer
Name Joshua B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was working a shift along side my partner, Tristan Robinson. Both employees of the state of NC. Both of us had a full visual experience from start to finish. Began as a star, then got as bright as someone shining a light. Then faded off in an odd, distinctively diminishing fashion. No photo or video. However both of us could sketch what was observed.
