Reports Report 1748a (Event 1748-2024)

Observer
Name Caroline Q
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks There were 2 fireballs, one was larger than the other. I was looking at the stars NNW and then the two fireballs went by quickly. The smaller fireball was farther down the horizon than the larger fireball. It is possible that this was a fragmented meteor however I did not see it fragment. The smaller fireball faded faster than the larger one.
