Reports Report 6089b (Event 6089-2025)

Observer
Name Nancy B
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I felt like the universe spoke to me. When I try to watch meteor showers I feel like I see a shooting star after it has just passed—that I missed it sort of. But this was different. I was walking west out of my house and this appeared over my head and was thick and bright white and headed west too, and I saw its path before it ended. Once I saw Elon Musk’s satellite train overhead and that was special too.
