| Name | Diana F |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I sky watch every night, and this "fireball" is the brightest and most impressive of any I have ever seen and I am an older adult. It was a very defined teardrop shape and an amazing neon blue color with green edges. It was very low and going west to east right over the Strait of Juan De Fuca and didn't fragment or have a tail, it simply disappeared. It seemed so close and I live a little over a mile up the hill from the water. It was the largest and brightest I've ever seen. |
