Reports Report 6997ce (Event 6997-2025)

Observer
Name Sharon M
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I actually went to the police/fire dispatch site to see if there had been some sort of crash in the area. I happened to glance out the window when I saw it and my first response was “ what did I just see?”. My husband is an amateur astronomer and I have been observing meteors with him for nearly 35 years, and I have never seen anything like this!
