Reports Report 6246ed (Event 6246-2025)

Observer
Name Glenn J
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was slow moving and I caught it as I walked out of my garage. It looked like it was on fire. Given where it was in the sky, I believe I caught the last 1/3 of the event which lasted about 10-15 seconds. My phone was in my back pocket and I had enough time to get it out and snap the pic. I tried to get a video as well but I botched it.
