| Observer | |

| Name | Virginia B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I really thought it was going to explode, it got very bright as it crossed the horizon (I could hear it burning) but I couldn't tell if it actually did or just kept falling further and further away. It was fast, scary, and beautiful. I really hope it was a meteor and not some plane or satellite crashing into the atmosphere. |
