Lane: Fireball (not UAP) · AMS primary reports
For the week of Aug 24–31, 2026, the American Meteor Society (AMS) network logged a run of reported fireballs across the United States and Canada. This briefing stays with the primary reports, the timing, and what the evidence can—and cannot—support.

Why this lane (fireballs vs UAP)
Fireball reports give us a useful evidence lane: many independent witnesses, timestamps, trajectories, and fragmentation details can be compared before interpretation. That is different from treating an unresolved observation as a UAP conclusion.
