| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I was looking west on my couch out through double glass french doors so view was brief, due west of my location, straight down, it did break up and pieces brightened at 30 degrees above horizon. Surprised to have caught sight of it and it must have been of fair size to survive until that close to ground. Id swear it would have hit at exactly 41st street and Saratoga rd. DownersGrove illinois. |

| Remarks | As described above : at 30 degrees above horizon(at most, probably lower) it broke up and those pieces brightened. |
