Reports Report 10285aj (Event 10285-2025)

Observer
Name John C
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The green spherical flash with tail appeared low in the sky facing roughly north and was visible for a short time (1-2 seconds) and appeared to be on an angled descent enough for me to rush upstairs to see if I could see where it might have ended up had it carried on on its trajectory (knowing fully well it was highly unlikely I’d see anything more). It was bright green with shortish tail relative to other images I have since seen on the web. I’ve seen meteor showers in the past high in the night sky but never seen anything like this before in my life…it was amazing and slightly perturbing at the same time not knowing initially what I had just seen.
