Reports Report 372f (Event 372-2025)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Jacob K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I was in the car driving north for a ski day. This was observed by myself and passenger. Friends who were also driving up with us but about 10km south of my observation point on the highway also observed the fireball and I will encourage them to report their findings as well. Based on the timing, my observations align with event 372-2025 that is reported in the registry. Unfortunately I do not have any dashcam footage as it was overwritten. Although not an astronomer, I am a geophysicist with a background in seismology and earth sciences. If there was an impact, it may be on Vancouver Island and there could be an impact recording on some of the seismometers located mid island if it was large enough and lucky enough to land near by. |
