| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | Sitting next to a window, out of the corner of my eye noticed a very bright flash which caught my attention which is why I turned and looked outside - it was like a flash of lightning but the color wasn't right - was reddish. Turned and saw what I thought was a meteor - fireball with a tail, very very red and bright that disappeared very quickly. |
