Reports Report 2r (Event 2-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Graham O |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Although I am often observing, this one was accidental- I was not paying attention to the sky and saw it out of the corner of my eye, partially behind trees. I missed the start of the meteor, but the end of it is the first time I’ve ever seen fragmentation. Multiple other people saw it here. Time is not exact. |
