Reports Report 7460d (Event 7460-2025)

Observer
Name Katherine H
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks At first we thought it was a plane landing off course, or a drone, or a firework or flare. But then we saw it closer and split into smaller parts. We had a perfect view because we were sitting at night on the ocean. It came towards us over the ocean and then disappeared over the horizon inland.
