Reports Report 5195d (Event 5195-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Mark B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This orange ball of flame was slow moving, meaning it was probably far way. It was traveling straight down. It was huge in size for as far away that it was. There was no tail or debris trail, so I thought maybe it was a rocket or plane crashing. Never saw anything like this before. |
