| Observer | |

| Name | Andy |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Was walking back to camp with two others, ground lit up around us in a green glow. Looked up to see a green ball moving from left to right across the sky. Moved very fast, much faster than videos I have found of meteors on YouTube. Seemed very close to us and could pick out detail easily. I have never seen a meteor so bright and fast. |
