Reports Report 3168ad (Event 3168-2026)

Observer
Name Rachel H
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks I was sitting on my couch and saw the meteor through my west facing window. It was burning orange coming from high up in the sky streaking down below. It disappeared behind the buildings below me, but it was magnificent. I sat for a few minutes afterwards in awe, totally unexpected. Given it’s midnight on a weeknight, I was likely one of the few to see it.
