Reports Report 4991r (Event 4991-2026)

Observer
Name Joseph S
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks The trail seemed to change color as the meteorite went by, blues greens violet, red, maybe more. I couldn't gauge how long it was really in the sky as I didn't see it enter and leave the horizon due to obstructions to my view but it was of consistent brightness for about 2-5 seconds after it entered my field of view
