Reports Report 4231b (Event 4231-2025)

Observer
Name Melanie S
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw it while I was driving. My answers are my best guesses, since I was in the car. It was HUGE, looked like a big rock honestly. I have seen meteor showers before but this was very different, I just randomly looked up and saw a big rock that was glowing red and orange/yellow, with a trail behind it. Like the “the more you know” star thing. Then it was just gone. Poof into the air.
