Reports Report 2601e (Event 2601-2025)

Observer
Name Dana L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I’m sure it was a fireball meteor and not anything else. It was amazing to see as I’d never observed one. I live in a clear skies area and it was before sunset and still very light in the sky. Phenomenal! I’d love to know if others reported it.
