Reports Report 8543v (Event 8543-2025)

Observer
Name Scott T
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The occurrence was unique because it seemed so wide I questioned if it really was a meteorite but it was so fast. If I held my arm all the way out it seemed to be around 3 inches long and maybe maybe 1/4 inch wide lasting around half second. Less than 1 second. The sudden entry was as bright as the middle and exit almost as if maybe it bounced off the atmosphere?
