Name Margaret T
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks In Regina, Saskatchewan, on the 16th of February, 2026, we had our 5th beautiful (almost spring-like day)...decided to get a car wash. There was a long line of cars waiting. I shut my car off, and I guess, I looked up to the sky at the exact right time. Towards the SE of Regina. I tried to take photos of the white train/trail, but, a white scattered cloud came in too quickly by the time I grabbed my cellphone. But, I did see the white trail turn bubbly as a trail, and into two I think. I immediately looked to Google to see the possibility of a meteor? I read a bolite. The bright exploding of it shocked me...lots of colour s. I will never forget it.

Remarks I saw something fall out of our scattered clouds. Within a second or two it exploded into many colours, and disappeared except for the white train or trail behind it which looked like it bubbled. I was at a car wash in NW Regina, Co-op gas station, waiting in line...glanced towards my left SE...and saw it all. I was stunned to see it.
