Reports Report 5355h (Event 5355-2018)

This report has been linked to the following event: Event 5355-2018
Observer
NameMartin E
Experience Level2/5
RemarksIt looked almost like a singular firework star, which I assumed it was at first, but then I realized the velocity was much too fast to be a firework, and the trajectory too straight. It looked rather large, maybe half the size of the more widely reported cases, despite the absence of any sounds.
