| Observer | |

| Name | Jane C |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | In a clear night sky, it was so brilliant before it "fizzled out" upon descent that for a brief moment, thought it was a missile before I realized it was a large meteor. Was stopped at a traffic light w/about 6 vehicles; I'm sure we all saw it as we all faced east. No other meteor followed. |
