Reports Report 4634c (Event 4634-2025)

Observer
Name Lauriane Z
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was a very large shooting star, the kind you rarely see — rather slow, and it must have lasted around 3 seconds. The ball was large and orange, and the trail was very long. There was first a bright flash (like a typical shooting star), then it disappeared briefly and reappeared as a big glowing orange ball, much larger, with a long bright trail.
