Reports Report 10173da (Event 10173-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Terry A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was so bright, as was the green, and a little red, that I worried I had seen a plane crashing. But it went straight down, not erratically, not expanding in multiple directions… I don’t think I’ll see a fireball this spectacular ever again. I hope someone has a video! |
