| Name | Christine |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My mother and I were in front of our house when she was telling me about a falling star she'd seen the evening prior...we both happened to look up at that time and amazingly enough saw what I have described. I have watched many meteor showers, but never saw any one meteor so brilliant. |

| Remarks | It looked as though the entirity of the object was engulfed in flames, still ignited. Because of the intensity of the light, length of the tail and the proximity in which appeared to be in reference to the Earths surface, I wouldn't be suprised if something caught fire in the area in which it seemed to disappear. |
