Reports Report 2505c (Event 2505-2026)

Observer
Name Tom N
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks moving fast (order of magnitude faster than satellites), buring red with a tail ~3-4 in long measured at arms length. South to north, flat trajectory from my view. Could not see the end (fizzle out or flash) due to houses in the area. No apparent segmentation. Lots of light polution here. Way, way brighter that any shooting stars I've seen in dark sky areas.
