Reports Report 2582b (Event 2582-2025)

Observer
Name Elby A
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks The fireball came at a very steep angle and disappeared at the horizon. I was looking east northeast. I am not absolutely sure of the time of the sighting. I did not have my phone handy. I have seen a few fireballs in my life. This one the second most spectacular. I think someone else surely reported it. My first thought was it might been a big piece of space junk
