Reports Report 5859b (Event 5859-2025)

Observer
Name Dustin K
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Was afraid at first, I thought I saw a UFO. But googled what it could be and fit the description of a meteor. It was traveling way faster than any aircraft. Looked like it was heading almost straight to the ground at a slight angle in the distance and I lost sight of it behind the trees. It was an extremely bright white and green light.
