Reports Report 6873bs (Event 6873-2024)

Observer
Name Rogan H
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks My brother in law saw it facing south in the same field as I. He said it lit up the whole field. I saw it from start to finish and being a meteorite expert it didn’t seem THAT big to me. I didn’t see fragmentation and it only exploded once a “wee” little bit at the end of light flight. I suspect it vaporized but if any material made it to the ground, I don’t expect it to be much. Hope the triangulation shows it terminated over Montana. That’s my guess. Cheers!
