| Name | Anavi U |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I had my back to the meteor when it first appeared, so I probably didn’t catch it from its beginning. I turned around when I saw the bright flash reflected on the ground in front of me. Also, I checked SkySafari6 right after seeing the meteor, and it more or less seemed to be coming from the radiant point of the Delta Aquarids meteor shower. |

| Remarks | The meteor increased in brightness a little towards the end, then returned to its normal brightness, and finally increased in brightness in a burst of light before disappearing. (Its normal brightness was already so bright that it cast shadows.) There was also some yellowish dots of light trailing behind it that quickly disappeared, and they looked somewhat similar (but not the same) to the trail of sparks that appears behind a firework before it explodes. |
