| Name | Ruth Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | As I messaged Mr. Hankey initially, the experience was quite remarkable, even though I did not see the fireball, which I am only assuming that it was, only the visual trace, like a very bright shooting star. I am hoping for confirmation by someone else of this event and have provided the information that I can. |

| Color | Since I did not see the actual fireball, which I am assuming was the bright light which caused me to open my eyes, I cannot answer these questions. I saw only the visual trace of light in the eastern sky, moving from right to left and slightly downwards, |
