Reports Report 6446ex (Event 6446-2025)

Observer
Name Mikael S
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Viewing of the totality of the potential meteor was partially blocked by trees / building, so can't say if I saw the whole event. It definitely fragmented and moved much too quickly to have been a plane or helicopter, and did not seem to be a close by object (like a firework)
