Reports Report 6842w (Event 6842-2025)

Observer
Name James M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I think this was a meteor. I’m just not educated enough to look at your charts and figure out approximately where the meteor came from. I have seen fireballs in the past, but those usually only last a few seconds and they’re brighter and closer to the ground.
