Reports Report 9918je (Event 9918-2025)

Observer
Name Sue A
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I just happened to be closing blinds and thought I was seeing a shooting star but it quickly descended and I was able to see a small fireball with some glow. It disappeared behind a house so I couldn't follow the path. While there was some talk of possible meteors on this date, I was surprised to see this at an earlier time than predicted. Skies were clear but temps were frigid.
