| Name | Toni M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The meteor/fireball was seen by two people: Toni Meiers, and Andrew Meiers. They had gone behind the house to see Mars, and the meteor/fireball passed right in front of Mars while they were watching. This report was filed by Caroline Meiers. I did not actually see it myself, as I glanced up a few seconds too late, but they said it was big and bright, and streaked across the sky right in front of them,from left to right, as they were staring at Mars. All information provided is as accurate as possible, based on what they reported. |
