Reports Report 8714a (Event 8714-2025)

Observer
Name Paige T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I saw a very bright fireball traveling from the east toward the south. It appeared in the middle of the sky above the horizon and had a vivid blue-green color. It left a bright trail across the sky. The main fireball disappeared quickly, but the blue/green trail stayed visible for about a second. It was extremely bright — fireball-level — and the color startled me because of how intense it was. I was amazed watching it.
