Reports Report 2562a (Event 2562-2025)
| Observer | |

| Name | Joshua S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Definitely wasn't the ISS (not even going the right direction, plus the ISS was near Austria at the time). It was flickering like a flame. I've seen satellite flares before and it was definitely not that. Definitely wasn't a plane (at least not a normal plane). It sounds like that Kosmos satellite came down early this morning, so probably not that. I was disappointed to read that I shouldn't report sightings more that 30s, but I have no idea what else this could be, so I'm excited to see how this jibes with other reports. |
