| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Observed a very bright fireball with a sudden, intense blue flash that appeared explosive in nature. The object did not present as a typical streaking meteor but instead looked like a brief, brilliant blue-white burst that illuminated a small portion of the sky before blinking out almost instantly. The event appeared visually close, though no sound or delayed sonic boom was heard. The entire event lasted under one second. |
