| Observer | |

| Name | Stephen M |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | I lost the object at the terminus listed because of an obstruction. At the point it was lost, it was still burning brightly on its trajectory, losing bits here. It was yellow to orange-red, like what steel looks like during the hot-roll process, but also beautifully golden. Appeared similar in size to a green meteor seen in the same area in the mid-2015 on a trajectory of Redlands CA toward Salton Sea/Palm Springs, I-10 corridor. |
