| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I don’t want to mislead experts regarding the time the phenomenon was captured, because the original photo was automatically uploaded to Google Photos, and I transferred it to my computer later; the time listed in the report was taken from the “photo details.” But as far as I recall, everything should be correct. |

| Remarks | After the fireball flew by, I raised my phone again to take a photo. Astrophotography gathers data for about a minute—maybe 40 to 50 seconds—and in the next photo I took, there were pinkish-red trails, like a little cloud or a wisp of smoke. |
