| Name | Patrick A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This was one to remember very bright and lasted longer than any I have viewed in some time, not your ordinary metor sighting. I a farmer we were on our way back from a field to our shop just after 10 at night in a truck and it really seemed to light up the night sky. I was almost stunned by the brightness, but had time to tell my brother next to me in truck to look up he also viewed this fireball. We were both amazed. |
