Reports Report 4257b (Event 4257-2025)

Observer
Name Jamie D
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw it when I turned in that direction; it appeared to just 'drop' from the sky [downward] and became brighter as it 'fell.' I did not see how much longer/further it was visible as it went out of my line of sight, behind some very tall trees.
