| Name | Eric |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | the \"object\" seemed slower that other meteors I have seen. Also it seemed to periodically flash, getting fainter with time.. This did not seem like a plane, because initially it flashed very bright orange and rained down fingers of \"sparks\". |
