| Name | Eric O |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I have a photograph of the meteor if there is any interest in seeing it. This was the brightest meteor I have ever seen before, I was laying down with my eyes closed, and it was so bright it caused me to open my eyes to see what was going on. Despite the delay, I still got to watch the meteor for 2+ seconds before it ended. It lit up the forest as well as the water over the lake, which I captured on my camera! A very lucky shot. |
