Reports Report 6426a (Event 6426-2025)

Observer
Name Alison P
Experience Level 3/5
Remarks I was observing the northern lights on the sun deck/balcony between 00:36-01:05. I did not take note of the exact time I saw the fireball/meteorite - but it would have been just a few minutes after I took a couple photos of the night sky, which are time stamped 00:36. I was back in bed no later than 01:05 as that’s when I sent a pic text message, which is also time stamped. I had just gone back inside and was standing in front of the kitchen sink drinking water staring through the kitchen window at the stars when I saw the fireball. Therefore I gave you my best estimate for the sighting as 00:47.
