| Name | Stephanie B |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Time observed is approximate, I was out for a walk and it caught my attention. I've seen lots of shooting stars, and a few fireballs, but never one as big and slow as this one, and I've never seen a yellow one. Unfortunately, I was viewing it through tree branches, but it was big and long enough to track easily. It made me stop in place, then rush to a clear spot to see it again, but by then it was gone. |
