Reports Report 6246cy (Event 6246-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | J. P |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I assumed it was a satellite breakup, but two hours later have seen no reporting of one, so I am reporting it in case it was in fact a meteor that fragmented. It was nearly straight overhead, nearly all the way across the sky from west to east. |
