| Name | Michelle D |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There were 4 of us walking around our neighborhood when we saw the fireball. Although I have been able to witness multiple shooting stars previously, this was unlike anything we have ever seen before. The size, brightness, and how slowly it travelled across the sky were all extraordinary. |
