| Name | Rebecca R |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | Saw this event while driving south on WI Hwy 39/51. I've seen "shooting stars" streak by, but never a slow fireball like this. I see that others have observed a similar event at a similar time, although it seems to be in a different direction... Hoping someone else saw this one too. |
