Reports Report 6611f (Event 6611-2025)

Observer
Name Michael M
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I observed this meteor accidentally through a window at my home. I first thought it was a momentary headlight reflection in the pane of glass, but it persisted long enough to know it was a meteor, especially because of the trail and fragmentation. I have been an amateur astronomer for 60 years.
