Reports Report 1372a (Event 1372-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Skye S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was not able to observe the initial entry of the fireball into the atmosphere as the part of the sky it occurred in was blocked by my vision due to where I was standing and my neighbor's house slightly obstructing my view. However, I want to emphasize that the brightness, color, and altitude of said fireball was unlike anything I've personally witnessed before, or compared to another fireball I saw back in 2020-2022 (sorry I don't remember the exact year). It was VERY bright from what I could/did see, the blue/green hues were very vibrant and indistinguishable, AND it was VERY low in altitude. |

|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Due to the brightness of the flash it resembled an exploding transformer, but because there weren't any sounds prior to, during, or after the flash, and due to the colors of the flash, I knew it was a meteor or fireball of some sorts. |
