Reports Report 3038a (Event 3038-2025)
| Observer | |

| Name | Ozodbek H |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I saw this meteorite, or more precisely a bolide fragment, for only a brief moment. It was during its final descent that I happened to catch sight of it. This event was incredibly fascinating. At that moment, I was slowly stepping outside from my house, and I noticed it just before it hit the ground — the whole observation didn’t last even 20 seconds. Nevertheless, it left a strong impression on me. I’m very interested in such phenomena and the science related to them. Finally, I want to say that I will gladly assist you in any way I can, and I hope that I have provided accurate and useful information in this report. |
