| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Robert J |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was driving east when I just happened to see it in the sky. When I saw fragments break off - sort of like sparks from fireworks, I assumed a meteor. I was surprised that it did not seem very bright, however, it was still light out. |

| Remarks | It looked like some fragments (a small amount) were breaking off of it. That is what made me believe it was a fireball or meteor or similar. |
