Reports Report 3622b (Event 3622-2026)

Observer
Name Shawna D
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Tonight I saw a star burn out in the most spectacular way possible. It raced across the sky as a blazing fireball before bursting into a silent, blinding flash. It was a terrifyingly beautiful reminder of how alive the universe is. —I was still staring at the sky in shock. Absolutely unreal!
