Reports Report 4582cz (Event 4582-2017)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Anne B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Immediately after I observed the fireball, I informed my neighbor that I had just seen a streak of light in the early evening sky on Saturday, November 25, 2017 at 5:25 pm EST. I felt certain that I had NOT observed any type of aircraft or drone. I suggested that my neighbor "be on the lookout" for a news report about meteor sightings. Sure enough, I heard about the fireball sighting in England and Wales during the NBC Early News. I wonder if the fireball I saw was in anyway related to the more spectacular event? |
