Reports Report 10408ab (Event 10408-2025)

Observer
Name Marcia K
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It was a small burning green ball with a red ring and tail that disappeared after sputtering out(?) Disappeared from my view anyway as it was night and debris was not visible. I was driving on the highway entering 24 south from 495 East just after the overpass. There was no safe way to observe but I've taken astronomy and I know that was a small meteor. Quite beautiful, honestly.
