Reports Report 1828ho (Event 1828-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Sze Wing Y |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Please note that the time at the bottom right of the dash cam video is inaccurate. This was around 9am eastern. Later that day there were news stories of the meteor over Ohio recorded approximately the same time, seen as far away as Maryland and Wisconsin, so I named the video OH meteor. I don't have definitive evidence that it's the same fireball but it would seem likely. |
