Reports Report 2645i (Event 2645-2026)

Observer
Name Jules S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have seen orange burning flames on falling objects like this before coming off of space X launches, but there was no launch tonight. There was only the return of Artemis five hours earlier. Could it have come from that? I watched it for about 10 seconds before I started filming it. It appeared to be moving slowly like a plain wood and did not appear to be going in a downward trajectory so that was confusing. I hope this isn’t a waste of time for you perhaps it was coming off of a space launch but I think the only one out there today was Artemis coming back home which was awesome!
