Observer
Name Paul B
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks From my perspective in San Jose, California 95124, the fireballs appeared just above the hills in the direction of SAGITTARIUS in the early morning of 1:42 AM June 10, 2026. I estimate it was over Monterrey, California or south of this. My cat was taking me for a walk and I was looking at stars on my iPhone's Stellarium Ap.
