Reports Report 3266c (Event 3266-2026)
| Observer | |

| Name | Kari S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Looking at Stellarium for the time of event, it seemed like it went across the sky from about Zubeneschamali towards Vega. The last I saw it after it fragmented was about half the distance between those two stars. If you're looking at that path, Corona Borealis was probably above where I lost sight of it after the fragmentation. I thought I heard three booms a few seconds after it fragmented, but there was a car on the nearby county road so I can't be sure. |
