| Name | Michael F |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This video was captured through a webcam at Brooks River in Katmai National Park, Alaska. Credit goes to explore.org and Katmai National Park. The video is cropped to focus on the area with the fireball/meteor, but we have a wider angle view from the webcam that includes more of the landscape. We’d be happy to share that if it is helpful. It was first seen and brought to the attention of explore.org by webcam viewer “Elly 4dogsncubs (V.Is.,BC).” |
