Reports Report 10145a (Event 10145-2025)

Observer
Name Steven G
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks Travelling East on 21 Mile Rd after crossing interstate 94, the sighting took place to my East-North-East. If there was any noise associated with it's atmospheric entry, I was unable to hear with my car windows rolled up. The time of occurrence is nearly spot-on as I checked my clock immediately after witnessing it. I was also unaware of any ongoing meteor showers until I returned home this evening and began searching for any related sightings, very cool to see.
