Reports Report 6552e (Event 6552-2025)
| Observer | |

| Name | Chris D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I mainly saw it out of my peripheral version. It seemed to be coming from west to east, so over Massachusetts and heading out toward the Atlantic Ocean. I only saw it for a second or two, but it distinctly got brighter, then winked out abruptly. I spent the next half hour or so watching the same portion of the sky, but didn’t see anything else, other than the stars through the usual Boston light pollution. |
