Reports Report 2357p (Event 2357-2014)
| Observer | |

| Name | Dustin H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Appeared in the sky at 45 degrees and traveled downward, breaking up into 3 pieces. 2 pieces burned out, but the last fragment traveled beyond the nearby treeline, still burning orange. As it was moving through the sky it left a burning orange trail that was quite impressive to see. Overall, it was the best meteorological event I have ever seen up close in person. |
