Reports Report 6872r (Event 6872-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Logan K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I work at Lockheed Martin and was getting off my shift, all the surrounding trees near the airport are gone so the field of view was perfect. As I turned onto perimeter road maybe 20 feet after I saw the fireball. Naturally, I thought it was a missile of some sort (due to the nature of my job) but it quickly occurred to me missiles aren’t neon green. It was overcast that night and I can’t remember if I saw the light pass through the clouds or not. |
