| Name | Eric M |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | The "fireball" my wife and I both saw on July 8th around 8:41PM was more like a long-lasting shooting star, with bright green/blue color which you can only see in fireworks, disintegrating into 3-7 "sparkles" before disappearing from sky. Note the sky then was not dark at all but Boy It Was Bright and Shining! |
