Reports Report 2793ad (Event 2793-2025)

Observer
Name Eric L
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks Frustratingly, I saw this meteor through a window from a lit bedroom. Regardless, it was still very impressive. Actually, it may be considered more impressive due to my obstructed vantage point, because I doubt an average meteor would have ever caught my attention under these circumstances. I was not actively looking out the window, rather the meteor appeared in my peripheral vision and caused me to turn my head in time to see its fragmentation.
