- araes 1y agoIf it hasn't been seen before, the International Meteor Organization has the Fireball Events reporting site for "flowers of the sky" all over the Earth. (has not made it onto HN in a couple of years) Not necessarily only natural meteors, since it takes any observation of type, and then makes determinations on whether its one of the "nowdays" frequent satellite reentries. https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/browse_events https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/browse_events Just a few days ago, on Sept. 25th there was an impressive one over Santa Rosa and Sacramento California that had 200+ witnesses and a bunch of videos. Apparently the reentry of a Starlink satellite. https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2025/6246 https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2025/6246 Another really impressive satellite or rocket reentry with lots of videos and pictures was seen on February 19th over Bremen, Hamburg, and Berlin and observed by 325 people over most of Northern Europe. https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2025/1019 https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo_view/event/2025/1019 Events that are witnessed can be reported at: https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo/report_intro https://fireballs.imo.net/members/imo/report_intro
