Observer: CARTOLA
Event Type: Pending (Meteor or Comet – awaiting NASA confirmation)
Date of Observation: December 10, 2025
Exact Time of Sighting: 6:17 PM PST

1. Photographic Evidence
The following image was captured at the exact moment of the sighting: 6:17 PM PST. EXIF metadata
confirms the authenticity, timestamp, and device used.
2. Event Timing
Duration: Approximately 15–20 seconds.
The object moved steadily across the sky, longer than typical meteors, matching shallow atmospheric
entry or cometary reflection behavior.
3. Direction of Travel
Motion: East → Northwest
Elevation: 25–35 degrees above horizon
Trajectory: Slight arc, steady brightness, no fragmentation observed
4. Object Description
Color: Grey-white
Speed: Faster than aircraft, slower than typical meteors
Tail: Straight, luminous, continuous
5. Celestial Visitors Active on December 10, 2025
Possible matches include:
- 3I/ATLAS

- C/2025 T1 (ATLAS)
- C/2025 A6
- 24P/Schaumasse
- Meteor shower fragments (unnamed individual meteors)
6. Identification Status
UNCONFIRMED — awaiting NASA/IAU reports on December 19, 2025 for precise classification.
7. Naming Rights (Conditional)
If NASA confirms the object was a meteor, the observer (CARTOLA) may name the meteor, as
individual meteors do not receive official scientific names.
8. Observer Statement
“My experience was absolutely real, supported by photographic proof and the exact timestamp of 6:17
PM. If the object is determined to be a meteor, I respectfully request recognition of my naming rights as
the documented witness.”
I would like to name it if it possible. As i understand and after research , no information can be found for what I witneSs that day.
Thank you |
