Reports Report 665w (Event 665-2025)

Observer
Name Jeffery F
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks It was the brightest meteorite I've ever seen. I was taking photos of the comet and this fireball entered just off to the side of my shot. So I have the light, but not the actual fireball and my all sky also didn't see it. It appeared to be traveling Almost E to W as the comet was at about 235 degrees (using true north) for me at the time
