Reports Report 6635as (Event 6635-2025)

Observer
Name Shaunda B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The fireball had a tail that disappeared when the fireball disappeared. My best description would be that it looked like someone had set a pair of balled up socks on fire and threw it across the sky. But it was way too high in the sky for that. I’m not sure if there was a crackling sound but there may have been because I thought I heard a crackling sound and it made me look up.
