| Name | John Z |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It was a beautiful sight! At first glance, I figured no one else saw what I saw, until I found this website and many others saw the same thing as me. It looked like a fireball falling across the sky. Not up and down but more sideways. It was magnificently clear and it was without a doubt a meteor. |
