| Name | Selah V |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I wasn’t actively observing the sky at the time — I just happened to glance out the window and saw the fireball. I was not operating any cameras or equipment. The fireball lasted about 3 seconds and had a bright orange trail. Near the end, there was a brief, bright terminal flash. I find it amazing to witness such an event and hope that this report can contribute to scientific research or help identify the trajectory. I’m excited to share this observation and would love it if it helps in any way. |
