Reports Report 882x (Event 882-2026)

Observer
Name Luke P
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was driving roughly east on route 283 and the sun was rising but hadn't yet broken the horizon when I saw the fireball. The brightness of the fireball was hard to determine because the sky was relatively well lit, during that phase where there's lots of color as the sun is rising, but it was very visible regardless.
