Reports Report 1733d (Event 1733-2026)

Observer
Name Casey W
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I have never observed something like this before. Sad to say at first I thought it was a bomb. I looked at many pictures and tried to compare to the image I had in memory. After looking at pictures I think I’m able to say it was in fact a meteor. It was a giant blue glowing orb with a trail. I was headed from Bemidji to red lake and when I saw how big it was I was in shock. I was surprised to not hear any “boom” afterwards.
