| Name | Angie T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | This caught my eye as I was driving to work. While I have seen many meteor showers, this is the first time I've ever seen such a large object so low within the atmosphere with such a distinctly colored halo and trail. It was a glowing bright blue-green color and fairly large based on general perspective. Due to the fact I was actively driving at the time, I didn't get an uninterrupted observation. |
