| Name | Luke L |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I have observed meteor showers a few times throughout my life however thinking back upon this lone event this fireball was traveling at a relatively slow rate of speed. I was driving and had excellent visibility, no obstructions. It is a clear night 23° Fahrenheit, 5 mph winds, 78% humidity according to weather.com. I would gladly answer any other questions about the event that I may recall. |

| Observation | Yes |
| Duration | 1s |
| Length | 13° |
| Remarks | Train was a light yellow cheese like color that sort of did a dull shimmer tapering away from the object. Object was more yellow and bright. It was beautiful yet almost sort of anticlimactic in that there was no explosion, the object stopped emitting light yet for some reason I feel like it kept traveling and did not entirely break up, the shimmery tail of the slow moving fireball faded or disappeared within 1-2 seconds of the fireball burning out. I did not observe any smoke. |
