| Name | Ed S |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | This was an incredible display to witness. The meteoroid was very bright, quite spectacular ! It was very close and most likely deposited a meteorite, when the bright red ball dropped over a small hill. This is only the second sighting for me in 65 years. Searching for an impact would be extremely difficult without the use of a drone. Although there are hills and trees, there are no leaves and snow still covers the ground 2' deep. |
