| Name | Chris B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was moving faster than a jet, but only slightly, which is why we all looked at it (3 of my family members). It's the longest duration I've ever seen on a meteor! The intensity and brightness grew towards the last few seconds, then it had a "sparkling" look, and finally a small tail or streak just before it disappeared. |
