Reports Report 7808s (Event 7808-2024)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robert G |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife and I were driving in our car eastbound on Melton Street, Pembroke, ON Canada when we both observed the fireball almost directly in front of us. I had briefly tried watching for meteors from the Geminid meteor shower earlier in the evening, but with the nearly full moon near the apparent point of origin the visibility was very poor. Based on the altitude and angle, I suspect the fireball we observed was connected with the Geminids. |
