Reports Report 5612p (Event 5612-2025)

Observer
Name Terry P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks This was bright enough to change the shadows in our yard from the moon to this object. It seemed so high almost straight up, yet it made a soft sound that even caused the dogs in the area to start barking at. From my position it moved generally from the NNE to the right and lasted about a fist and a half. I lost it behind our trees, but the light faded right away, so it was nearly done glowing when I lost sight. A beautiful light and flash.
