| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was traveling west to east, so I think whatever came down was on a north east to a South West direction it lasted 3-4 seconds and was bright orange, almost like a firework, which has me thinking it could have been debris burning up, I've seen many shooting stars but nothing like this. |
