These Are a LOT More Than Just Fireballs

These are a LOT more than just fireballs. In this video, I walk through a batch of recent AMS fireball events and show why some of these reports deserve a closer look. These were not tiny flashes that only one or two people noticed — some were reported by hundreds or even thousands of witnesses across multiple states and countries. We look at AMS Event 4372-2026 from June 15, 2026, reported across many U.S. states, with video evidence showing fragmentation and an incredibly bright plasma-like flash. NASA Skyfalls data for this event indicates a fast object moving around 55,800 mph, traveling roughly 300 miles before disintegrating high in the atmosphere. I also review several other major 2026 events, including European fireballs reported across France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Belgium, and surrounding regions, plus Pacific Northwest events seen over Washington, Oregon, and British Columbia. Some have no public CNEOS entry, but the witness reports, videos, brightness, fragmentation, and wide geographic coverage make them important to document. This video is raw research material for a larger project I am working on. I am collecting the AMS reports, public video evidence, credits, and NASA/CNEOS checks where available so we can better understand what is happening in our skies. Credits for source videos are included in the description where available. Some AMS video submissions do not list a visible credit.
