| Name | Candace Y |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | There was extreme intensity. One of the larger meteors I've witnessed in central size, but the tail was short and surrounded much of the meteor, while the center burned bright white. Fat and short is a good way to put it. I could only catch the first two thirds of it's entrance through the atmosphere as it fell towards the horizon below a cloud. |
