Reports Report 6703j (Event 6703-2025)

Observer
Name Claudia O
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I have seen shootings starts before but never one like this. It was larger, brighter and it looked closer to me than a shooting start. But as soon as a looked up and saw it, a second later it was gone. Definitely not a firework though, too large of a light to be one.
