| Name | John M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | My wife saw this 'fireball' shooting star 1st while we were in our driveway and once she shouted about it, I looked up and it was still streaking overhead burning out due North. Between when she 1st sighted it and alerted me, and then for me to still be able to see the last seconds, that was probably the longest event I have witnessed (they are usually just a second or 2 at most). |
