Observer
Name Khalifa A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Date and Time: Approximately 2 hours before the time of this report (Local time: Oman, Gulf Standard Time) Location of the observer: Ibri, Sultanate of Oman (Exact coordinates not required, city name is enough) Direction of the fireball: The fireball was seen moving toward the desert area south of Ibri. Appearance: The fireball was bright white with a strong blue tint. It was extremely luminous and visible clearly in the night sky. Behavior: • It appeared suddenly as a bright flash. • It travelled downward at a steep angle toward the desert. • The color was white/blue, indicating a very hot and fast-moving object. Sound: A loud explosive sound (sonic boom) was heard shortly after the flash. The sound was strong enough to be clearly noticeable. Duration: The visible flash lasted less than 2 seconds. Sky conditions: Clear sky – visibility was good. Additional Notes: People in other regions of Oman, including Adam, also reported seeing the same flash. The sound suggests the object may have fragmented or exploded at low altitude.
