Reports Report 6208k (Event 6208-2025)

Observer
Name Brian C
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks Its visible flight time was about 5.5 seconds. This meteor had a long trail that was nearly as long as its path, though this time the trail did not persist after the head faded. (I have observed larger fireballs in past decades where the trail persisted after the head faded and the trail changed colors as it faded.)
