Reports Report 9718aa (Event 9718-2025)

Observer
Name Lauren B
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Seemed bigger and brighter than a star which caught my attention while traveling as a passenger in a car on King George Road. It glowed bright with a blue hue at first then faded to light yellow then white. I wasn’t sure what it was as it happened so quickly. It traveled straight down from my perspective as if falling to earth.
