Reports Report 225cm (Event 225-2026)

Observer
Name Jake G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The calculations are obviously just a guess as I was really awe struck by the surprise of a fireball flying through the sky! I knew right away it was something other worldly but it was o er soon as it started like 3 seconds! Also I was like 300 yards down the road prior to turning up onto the address I indicated because it’s all new construction without active addresses as I was to turn right onto loganbridge but still my best calculation! Also like to see your slick with that real “quick ?” Lol I’m a 45 year old concrete supervisor that’s not real internet savvy! Also it burnout before it hit but the ball was rather large so I hope this helps y’all maybe find remnants if they’re out there!

Remarks Couldn’t hear I was driving and as I turned in loganbridge rd I looked up and was amazed as I yelled to my co workers look and was so fast I just saw this bright ball of fire which looked as pieces were falling of in first blues purple and yellow as the main part was bright white! I’m sure it’s more magnificent then I can explain as it happened so fast it was hard to process what was happening
