| Name | John B |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Nothing really besides that I was driving, and that I'm not sure what the difference is between a fireball and a shooting star is. All I know is that this was the brightest one I have ever seen, especially in town with light pollution. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I believe I saw a flash, but it appeared relatively small, and not too long before I could no longer see the meteor. It looked like a small flash of light green. I can't describe it in much better detail as I was driving when I saw it. |
